[SOLVED] What software let's you switch between headset and speaker through a hotkey?

I currently have access Realtek HD Manager to do this. Its a 10-second thing, but really burdensome when you have to do it every 5-10 minutes.

I currently have a lightweight program controlling my volume speeds; I was wondering if there was a software similar to do that but switching between headset and speaker?

I've used AutoHotKey before. Worked well enough for me. Fairly easy to set up and switching audio outputs is just a key-combo away.

hi thanks for replying, ive used AHK before but only with a game (runescape). im not really familiar with using it outside of that. very interesting that it can be used with that purpose though

Yeah, it's basically a script engine that takes advantage of Windows.

Windows knows the order of your audio devices. For me, it's

1. Speakers
2. VOIP Handset
3. USB Headset

Set up a key-combo to run the script.

The script basically says
If headset isenabled, up two
Else If speakers isenabled, down two
Else do nothing (I'm on the phone)

That's the gist of the script.
