The DeviceManager class is exposed by the LyncClient class. You use this class to discover the local computer audio and video devices configured using Lync 2010. The device manager allows you to set the active audio or video device for active conversations. You can also set the playback device that Lync 2010 uses to render audio in the modes enumerated by AudioPlayBackModes .

The device manager allows you to play back a stored audio file by calling into BeginPlayAudioFile . This allows you to program custom audio queues into your application that can replace the default tones played by Lync 2010.
