Swap between different playback devices in Windows using hotkeys.
SoundSwitch is a small Windows utility that facilitates the switching between different playback or recording devices installed on the PC without having to mess about with drivers.
The application is customizable, but the main point is that you can quickly change the playback or recording device by using a combination of hotkeys; these come with some defaults but users can easily change them within the settings window.
SoundSwitch configuration is easy and it can be accessed directly from the Window tray. Alternatively you can also access SoundSwitch from the Windows Control Panel.
In terms of tweaking, SoundSwitch is definitely useful in a number of areas such as switching between headphones, digital audio and internal speakers. And it's super easy to use.
