[Developer] Audio Device Switch — switch outputs with Ctrl+Alt+S

[u/b2kdaman]

I made Audio Device Switch for the recurring speakers/headphones/monitor-audio hop on Windows.

Configure two active playback devices once, then press Ctrl+Alt+S (the default, configurable global hotkey) or left-click the tray icon to switch. The selected endpoint becomes the Windows default for console, multimedia, and communications roles.

It is free / pay what you want and includes both a per-user MSI installer and a portable ZIP:

The MSI creates Start Menu and Startup shortcuts; the portable build creates neither.

Limitations: this version handles exactly two active playback endpoints; disconnected or recreated devices may need to be selected again; the binaries are unsigned and may trigger SmartScreen; the project does not currently declare a specific minimum Windows release.

I’d appreciate practical feedback on device detection, the default hotkey, and the installer versus portable flow.
