How can one more easily switch audio playback devices in Windows 7?

Question

Specifically, my PC has four audio devices, and I like to be able to set what they are to be used for; I usually use an external USB sound card with headphones (1 audio device), but sometimes use speakers (not USB, they're on the motherboard's sound output), the HDMI output on my video card (Use with TV and occasionally with 2nd monitor for gtalk dings), and another USB device from time to time.  I currently load the playback devices (2 clicks to get there), and set the main audio device to the one I am using (2 more clicks!).  I could alternately pull the USB sound devices out (it falls back automatically), but that's more of a hassle than a couple of clicks.

A desktop widget or something of the sort that could accomplish this in one click would be ideal.  Does anybody know of a solution that streamlines this process a bit?  Not a big deal if such a thing doesn't exist, but it would be handy!

To clarify - I know how to switch them.  I just find the process slightly annoying at 4 clicks.

Answer 1

of course, the best place to buy a key is ms. i purchased years from ms online store. however, this time, i'd like to share one special experience on www.danzibrothers.com .

i visit my forum everyday. one day, i found a piece of recommendation from another guy. so i visited this site.

at the beginning, i'm quite skeptical at them. the price is too low.

then i sent many questions to them.

out of my expectation, they replied to me very soon. each question was answered.

at that time, i planned to try the new windows 7 activation key.

long story short, i purchased a key from them, received it and download links(32bit&64bit) in about one hour. i need 64. and, more important, the key works at the first try.

i sent much feedback to them. in one word, i'm very satisfied with this purchase, and i think, i should pass words to you.

www.oggus.com really brings me great service! At first as the most i was a little sceptical but i thought, those price wont hurt, so i ordered windows 8 pro before i went to bed. In the beginning i was a bit off in bed hoping it went all well. But when i wok up there was a windows 8 pro in my mail. So i reinstalled my computer inserted the key and it works just out of the box!

Nothing to do with the telephone activation or something.



They really have a great service! And the response is also fast. I will buy my next keys at www.oggus.com



Thank you for the great support and prices i really appriciate it what you do for the community Thumbs up!
