    Is there a way to setup a hotkey to switch between monitor speakers & headset?


    I like to switch depending on if people are nearby me or not and I probably switch between my monitor and headset alot more than the average person. Is there a way to set up a hotkey so I don't have to keep opening menus?

    Need a New Headset and Speakers.

    It seems that I would stay with logitech for headsets but I would like some suggestions for a 2.1 speaker setup.

    Audio switching unexpectedly from headset to speakers on PC.

    I've recently run into a problem that is more of a minor annoyance than a real problem. But, sometimes when I am playing a game or watching a video on my computer, the sound will switch from my headset, a logitec usb headset, to my speakers. I've tried
    to determine if this is some kind of hotkey that I don't know about, but have yet to find any solutions to the problem.

    Often times it will switch unexpectedly for just a few moments and then switch back. I've checked the lines for my USB headset and everything looks to be in good condition.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue Is there a way to setup a hotkey to switch between monitor speakers & headset? :p
