extensions: [Set Audio Device] Unknown system error upon executing command
Extension – Set Audio Device
Author: @benvp
Description
All commands are failing for me with the following error:
There was an error fetching the audio devices. Command failed with Unknown system error -86: [~homepath]...

Steps To Reproduce
- Install extension
- Attempt to run either “Set Output Device” or “Set Input Device” commands
The current behavior
Error message (pictured above)
The expected behavior
Audio inputs/outputs should be set accordingly.
Raycast version
Version 1.34.1
Of note, I am running macOS 12.3.1 on an M1 computer that currently does not have Rosetta 2 installed. I had seen the “system error -86” crop up on another extension where a dependency appeared to require that Rosetta be present, so I suspect that could be the case here.
Assuming so, I’m not sure if there’s a way to get this working without Rosetta being present, but that would be preferred if possible.

Oh, sorry, I completely skipped over that paragraph @djpowers
Did a little bit more digging on this, and the full error reads as follows:
It appears this is occurring upstream on the macos-audio-devices package, as I’m also getting an error trying to install it directly:
Bad CPU type in executable
I opened up an issue on that package to see it’s feasible to compile for M1 chips: karaggeorge/macos-audio-devices#23
