[NFBCS] Hotkeys for changing Win 10 audio output

[Jim Denham]

Charles:
One way around this would be to change the JAWS Sound Card prior to plugging in the device. If you look under JAWS Utilities, Sound Cards, you will see that JAWS is set to use the Default sound card. If you change JAWS to use your preferred sound card, it should stay on this card, even if you add another device. 
Hope this helps.
Jim

Subject: [NFBCS] Hotkeys for changing Win 10 audio output

Good morning all,

Does anyone have a good suggestion for getting Windows 10 to switch the audio output by hotkey?

 

The problem I have is when plugging in a USB-C audio device or projection system that doesn't actually support audio but Windows thinks it does then JAWS is lost to that device.  I'm trying to find a non-sighted way of getting it back.  

 

Googling I've found Near CMD and one or two other apps.  But I'm looking for something that can be done on any PC without having to customize by installing 3rd party (potentially questionable) apps.

 

Thanks,

Charles
