description: Show or switch the Mac's audio output device (built-in speakers, AirPods, external displays, DACs). Use when the user asks where sound is playing, which output device is active, or wants audio routed to a different device.
argument-hint: [device name or number]
allowed-tools: Bash

Requested device: $ARGUMENTS
Current output device and everything available (JSON):
!`"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/media.sh" output`
Now do the following:
1. **No argument** → present the devices as a short markdown list, marking the
current one, e.g. `🔊 **MacBook Pro Speakers** (current)`, then offer to
switch.
2. **With a device request** → map what the user said to one entry in the
`devices` list above (they may use loose words: "에어팟"/"earbuds" → the
AirPods entry, "speakers" → the built-in speakers, "monitor"/"TV" → the
display device). Then run:
```bash
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/media.sh" output "<device name>"
```
The script itself accepts an exact name, a unique case-insensitive
substring, or the 1-based list position, and prints the updated list.
3. Confirm in one styled line: `🔊 Output → **AirPods Pro**`.
Error handling:
- **Exit 4** — no match or ambiguous; stderr names the candidates. Show them
and ask which one (AskUserQuestion is not available here — just ask in
text).
- **Exit 1 with "native helper"** — the feature needs the compiled helper;
point to `/media:doctor`.
- A device that is not connected (e.g. AirPods in the case) does not appear
in the list — switching cannot connect it; the user must connect it first.
Tip: the statusline can show the current output device (icon by device kind —
🎧 Bluetooth/headphones, 📺 HDMI/DisplayPort, 📶 AirPlay, 🔊 speakers) —
check "Output device" in the `/media:statusline` Items tab, or place it
anywhere with a numeric pattern (digit 6).
