Updated Mono-Stereo Toggling

Apple changed a few things in System Preferences under Mojave which broke this script to toggle between Mono and Stereo output.

Here is the fix. You will note that it is a simple change to the line targeting the System Preferences' Accessibility window.

tell application "System Preferences"

reveal anchor "Hearing" of pane id "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"

end tell

tell application "System Events"

tell application process "System Preferences"

set frontmost to true

tell group 1 of window "Accessibility"

# pre-Mojave - replace the line above with the one below

# tell window "Accessibility"

set monoStereoCheckbox to checkbox "Play stereo audio as mono"

if (get value of monoStereoCheckbox) as boolean is true then

set ddMessage to "Switch to STEREO output?"

else

set ddMessage to "Switch to MONO output?"

end if

if button returned of (display dialog ddMessage buttons {"No", "Yes"} default button 2) is "Yes" then

tell monoStereoCheckbox to click

end if

end tell

end tell

end tell

if application "System Preferences" is running then

tell application "System Preferences" to quit

end if
