Shortcut to change audio devices

[Macross_Freek]

I've got a USB headset and my onboard audio. It's a pain going through 4-5 clicks in order to change between the two.

Is there some way to automate a script to do this for me? I've tried a registry change in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Multimedia\So und Mapper\Playback key and this does change the device but the volume control only works with the last set device which was done through the audio device manager UI.

Does anyone know of a better way or the rest of the registry keys related to changing of audio devices?

Thanks.

You don't need a script to change the registry.

Set it to device A. In RegEdit, browse to Sound Mapper, right click on it, Export.

Set to device B and do the same.

Double click on the .reg file of whatever device you want active.


Can't help you with the volume control.

Yeah that's what I've been doing basically. I think I found what it was actually.

The volume control directly from the volume control panel works fine when changing but when I change the volume from my keyboard or headset, the volume does not increase in the main volume control panel. There is a visual display of the volume increasing related to the keyboard presses but the volume is not actually increasing.

Anyone know if there are other registry keys related to this?
