Audio Switcharoo is a lightweight application written in C++ and C# that allows you to quickly and easily switch your default audio output device in Windows Vista and Windows 7 with programmable hotkeys. Unlike most existing programs and macros that offer similar functionality, Audio Switcharoo changes devices entirely programmatically — no windows are opened, no mouse-clicks are sent.
Audio Switcharoo is unobtrusive, minimizing to the system tray when not in use and lying dormant until a hotkey is pressed. You can switch devices while watching a movie full-screen, playing a game (if the game allows for it), listening to iTunes, etc. And if you'd rather not set up hotkeys, Audio Switcharoo allows for easy 1-click switching by means of a tray icon.
Audio Switcharoo requires Windows Vista or higher, and .NET Framework 3.0 or higher (don't worry, you've got that already).
Audio Switcharoo comes in two different packages, an installer and a zip file that can be extracted and run anywhere.
