Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Automating Audio Output switch

Like a lot of people, I use both speakers and, at times, a headset with my computer. Problem being its a USB headset, so I can't just plug it in and have it swap output from my speakers. Indeed, I just keep the headset plugged in at all times, for the microphone.
What I'm looking for is some method to swap the default output device, so I don't have to go into the sound panel every time I want to change it.
Helpful for say, games like TF2 (or anything using Source) since it chokes and dies whenever I alt-tab it. Or when I'm watching the other input on my monitor.
Are there any commands that would let me do this in a batch file? Or would I be stuck whipping up a autohotkey type script?
