Switching between Headphones and Speakers.

I have the Corsair SP 2500 speakers and the Void RGB wireless USB headphones. I also use the Sound Blaster ZX series sound card and software. Now in the software there is a button to switch between speakers and Headphones but only one of them will work if it's set to priority in the Windows settings. I should be able to just use the toggle button in the SB software. So what I'm asking is there a way to switch h between headphones and speakers without going into the mixer!
Cheers.

You can't switch between the speakers and the headset you have using the Zx software, because the headset is USB. That only works for headsets or headphones connected directly to the Zx. USB audio devices have their own sound processing and are not connected to a sound card the PC might have.

This little app might be what you need.

Brilliant thanks!!!

Just to but-in

Read this, Its a problem that I too have been looking at, however, for the most part, I have a creative card with Live drive and so its not been a problem, however the Audio port has become funky lately and I have had to resort to the button, but at the same time, I am in a wheelchair and having just left hospital after my latest OP, leaning down to press it has just become a real hassle.

This app is great, thank you.

I will definitely donate to the coder for this app.
