I am trying to find out if an output device and an input device are part of the same device.

The problem I'm having is that, for example on MAC OS you have "Built-in Output" and "Built-in Input", that I reckon are part of the same sound board, and the device driver string that BASS_GetDeviceInfo() returns is empty on mac.

On windows I compared the driver string to get results.

Is there another way, using BASS to find out if the two devices(the input and the output), are part of the same device on MAC OS?

Yep, the BASS_DEVICEINFO "driver" member is currently unused on OSX. But here's an update to try, which will put the device's UID (unique identifier) in there...

   www.un4seen.com/stuff/libbass.dylib

The UID can be used to get related devices via the AudioHardware API, eg. AudioObjectGetPropertyData. You would use the kAudioHardwarePropertyDeviceForUID property to translate the UID to an AudioDeviceID, and then use the kAudioDevicePropertyRelatedDevices property on that to get the related devices.

Thanks for the reply,
I tried the lib and I can get the device UID in the BASS_DEVICEINFO. But I can't initialize any device anymore.

[Ian @ un4seen]

That's strange. If you use BASS_ErrorGetCode to get the error code (after the failed BASS_Init call), what does it say?

[BogdanC]

Solved the problem, it was my fault, I was mixing some older bass libraries, just changed them with the newest ones and everything works.

Just wanted to ask if this dylib you linked is the version without MP3?

[Ian @ un4seen]

It is indeed an "mp3-free" version.

Thanks allot for your help . And sorry if I took long to reply, I was also working on other issues.
