Hi, Everyone!

I have two playback devices: speakerphones and USB headphones. To
select either one, I go to Control Panel-> Sound and Audio Devices->
Audio tab-> Sound playback and highlight the device from the list. Is
there a way to create a shortcut for each device, so I would be able to
select either one just by a click?

Thank You Very Much.

Truly Yours, Simon Dexter

Yes but it takes a bit of work. and requires running a macro
(google: keyboard macro)

I've used PowerPro http://powerpro.webeddie.com/ forever and it will
do what you want (and much more).


you would Run MMSYS.CPL then use arrows, tab key, or ALT commands to
get to where you want to be and select the proper device.
