Default Audio Changer is a program that can change the default audio device on a Vista & Windows 7 OS-es. It is especially useful if you're like me and have a sound card with speakers attached and a USB headset/headphones.
Default Audio Changer is a program that can change the default audio device on a Windows 7, 8 and 10 OS-es. It is especially useful if you're like me and have a sound card with speakers attached and a USB headset/headphones.
It is made for lazy people, so if you're not lazy, you can continue to use the control panel application (mmsys.cpl).

Running it for the first time, just loads the application. Any subsequent launches, will just switch the default audio device as per your settings.

This is a solution created with Visual Studio 2010 Professional, but it "should" be usable on an Express edition. It is using WTL 8.1. You can obtain it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/wtl/files/ .
To compile it, just grab the source code, open the solution (.sln) file, update the include path to where WTL include files are (e.g. c:\WTL81\include), and recompile.
Also, I have been using Windows SDK 7.1 , though I don't believe I'm using anything in particular from it, therefore the SDK that VS2010 comes with should be fine.
This is a solution created with Visual Studio 2015 Community. It is using WTL 9.1. You can obtain it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/wtl/files/ .
To compile it, just grab the source code, open the solution (.sln) file, update the include path to where WTL include files are (e.g. c:\WTL91\include), and recompile.

The downloads section has been removed from GitHub, therefore I moved them to SourceForge. The code will soon go there as well, even if this project
is essentially done.

If it's not working for you...tough luck.

Extract the zip file in some directory. Double-click on the executable. It will add an icon to your tray area. Additionally, if you're running the program for the first time, it will display the settings window.
