'Switch device' Example Appears Outdated - `SetDefaultDevice` no longer available

[EricLBaker]

Reference from example:

pycaw/examples/list_and_switch_devices_example.py

Line 23 in 14e2020

AudioUtilities.SetDefaultDevice(device.id)

---

Version: (latest) 20240210
Python: 3.10.11
OS: Windows 11

---

Minimal reproducible example:

from pycaw.pycaw import AudioUtilities

AudioUtilities.SetDefaultDevice("my-device-id")

Results in:

AttributeError: type object 'AudioUtilities' has no attribute 'SetDefaultDevice'

---

Are there any updates on how to set active audio device by ID?
