I like to streamline things. If any given task requires me to jump through more than a few hoops, I won't do it. I just don't have time. However, if I can jump through a few hoops one time to ensure I don't have to later, I'm all for it.
I was getting frustrated while constantly changing audio sources. So, after a few google searches I found the solution:
The first version required ini file configurations. This one is much easier. You simply install it, and then configure which audio sources you would like to cycle through and which hotkey you would like to use to do it.
My roommate has to switch all the time to go from his headset to his speakers, he is going to love this! Awesome job for bringing this to our attention!
Somewhat related... you think it's possible to play 2 different audio sources at the same time?
I'd like to be able to play music through my speakers, while having game audio come through my headset only, for example. I've tried to find a way to do it, mostly by googling, but haven't found anything.
Holy crap. This is awesome. I usually have my audio going through HDMI to my TV when watching video and whatnot, but will switch to my sound card when I use my headphones when I am playing a game. I had a shortcut to my sound settings to switch between audio device, now i can switch super fast. Thank you so much.
I preffer to use AutoHotKey, just google it, and use this script, it barelly uses any recources and doesn't hang in the tray if you add a function to hide it, just download AHK, install it and add this script to the startup folder :P
Ofc you can edit which keys you want to use to switch, I use F9 and F10, the "down 4" indicates the possition of the device in the sound panel, for Logan it would be 1 and 2 :)
You will not belive how much I have looked into this. Any program that I have found hasn't worked or needed payment. This saves me so much hassle. Thank you!
I hate to do this to everyone here (since this will make me sound like a prick) but honestly: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=easy+way+to+switch+default+audio+device gives me a link (8th result) to the ahk script I'm using (that someone else in here mentioned as well) and that forum thread is from 2005 -_-, that's (8<- years old)
One warning tho if you do run similar programs like keep-window-on-top many of them are coded in ahk and sadly you can make a great many aim / recoil scripts in this scripting language as well, which causes punkbuster amongst others to mark it as an dissalowed driver and kicks you for it. (even if it doesn't interact with the game in any way).
