How can I detect when headphones are plugged in, and unplugged? [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to detect if the headphones are plugged in on Windows. I've already tried DirectSound and the NAudio library and have not had any success. Does anyone have any suggestions?

NOTE: this question is a duplicate of this question, but the answer to that question didn't contain any code samples or tutorials.

Answer 1

So...I think I might found something REALY obscure..

Can any of you guys check if that works? - You MUST have the NAudio library referenced..

var enumerator = new MMDeviceEnumerator();
var d = enumerator.GetDefaultAudioEndpoint(DataFlow.Render, Role.Multimedia);
Console.WriteLine(d.Properties[new Guid("46d16a2c-5654-41c0-911e-7860d2bce7ee")].Value.ToString());

This property return's 1 (Plugged) or 0 (Unplugged).. and It's working realy good for me..
