Easy way [like a widget or something] to switch between audio devices?

Hi

having just set up my 5.1 setup for bed film watching and also having a stereo solution for at desk use i am now in need of a way to quickly switch sound devices from within windows with as few clicks as possible.

Its a long shot but the ideal way would be with a widget with device 1 and device 2.

Any solutions?

I'm really looking for a one click solution or macro key

that's a very good idea, I guess I didn't think of it because I have never recorded a macro that long

I have a g15v2 and a razed nostromo game pad, think I'll assign one of the nostromo keys to do that job.. It has plenty .. Will have to work out the sequence! Closest I'll get to one click.

ok ive managed to get it to work, but i couldnt on the g15, it would select audio play back devices but would not move down the list! No matter if i added delay, pressed 'home' to select the top of the list or just used the 'down' arrow.

I have made it work using the razer software on the nostromo gamepad, havent reduced the delays yet, but one button does it all! thanks!

sorry to hijack this thread! this is a good question which i have similar problem. i have ms sidewinder x4 and asus xonar dg, i have to go to xonar properties and change from headphones to speakers each time i want to change, its a lot of clicks and very annoying.
would it be possible to do same sort of thing with the macros?

it does work, took a few attempts! very slick tho, saves a lot of faff
