Report Post Is this the best way to switch between headphones and speakers

[wermcran]

I've been using auto hotkey with the following script
Insert::
Run, mmsys.cpl
WinWait,Sound
ControlSend,SysListView321,{Down}
ControlClick,&Set Default
ControlClick,OK
return
Break::
Run, mmsys.cpl
WinWait,Sound
ControlSend,SysListView321,{Down 3}
ControlClick,&Set Default
ControlClick,OK
return
Is this the best way to this? Is there a program that also does this. Autohotkey is fine but i often have to press the hotkey like 3 or 4 times before it switches. The sound menu will always pop up but sometime it wont change the audio output. I have to press it a few times.
Any other ways to do this?

Seems like a nice way to do it.
I have to right click on the taskbar volume icon > Playback Devices and set as default device my choice. It's four clicks. Windows 7.

Software switching is OK, but for reliability and flexibility I prefer a hardware solution - a simple pushbutton selector that doesn't care what OS I am running.
