Tell me how to quickly switch the default playback device in Windows 7?

Question

Bluetooth

Greetings!

I bought bluetooth headphones, and here's the problem with them.
It is very inconvenient to switch the device for playing the sound by default (i.e. choose the one through which all sounds will go).
I really want a small program that will hide in the tray and allow you to select a default device in 1-2 clicks.
Can you suggest one?

A little explanation.
I have speakers connected to my computer, headphones and now bluetooth headphones.
The VIA HD Audio Deck utility was included with the built-in sound system,

which just allows you to switch the output of the speaker <-> headphones without twitching the wires.
Now I want the same thing, but for all three options.

I don’t like the standard Windows dialog for the following reasons:
- you need at least 2 clicks to open it from the tray (and it opens with a delay of 3-5 seconds)
- you need at least 2 more clicks to select the device by default

Answer 1

The only program I've found that can do this correctly (i.e. through the API, and not by emulating a dialog box call) is  DefSound . In addition, it correctly handles the situation with multiple sound cards.
Works from the console, controlled by command line parameters. And you can make any wrapper you like - from shortcuts on the desktop to installing hotkeys using a third-party application.

Answer 2

I use Rainmeter for this . There is a plugin for sound control, it looks like this for me:

I.e. the current device is displayed, when you click on it, it changes to the next one. The entire desktop (for an overview of Rainmeter features).

My solution, unfortunately, does not work on any realtechs, they have their own too smart driver.

Answer 4

I have an external Zukovy 5.1 and BT headphones.
I did this: in the necessary applications with which I use the BT headset - these are MPC-HC, AIMP, skype - in them I set the sound output to the BT headset by default. It works like this when there is no headset - windows-default is used, when a BT headset is connected - everything switches to it. Perhaps not the most ideal solution))
I myself would have used the program, but I was too lazy to look.

Answer 5

I will clarify. Changes to the following or can I somehow select a specific one?
