This is a handy tool that will let you easily switch between headphones and speakers. If you have a problem using the old headphones, you can switch to the new ones in a few seconds. This app will also show you the current status of your headset, so you can know whether or not it is working properly.
This is a very simple and easy-to-use tool, and it will work on most Android devices. All you need to do is to connect your headphones or speakers, and then you can easily switch between them. This app will also work on tablets and some smartphones, and it is very easy to use.

I recently built a new PC with Windows 11 and threw my SBZ card in it. I always liked the card because I had the Zx version which has an external audio controller that sits on my desk. When I went to install the drivers, I noticed the software formerly known as SB Control Panel was changed at some point to SB Command. With the new software, it broke the SBZ Switcher software I was using to toggle my headphones/speakers (which I never was a big fan of as it is not that elegant). So I started looking around trying to find a suitable alternative and I found one but it was basically the same as before: all based on window and mouse manipulation. Nothing super elegant.
After doing some Googling, I came upon sbz-switch on Github. Looking at it, I realized this is what I was looking for. This does SBZ settings manipulation at the command line; no window or mouse manipulation required. With sbz-switch in hand, I quickly wrote an AHK (AutoHotKey) script to toggle my headphones and speakers. To properly do the toggle, I do a Registry read (the same way SBZ Switcher did it) on the SBZ card settings. To figure out what Registry Key to read from, I decompiled SBZ Switcher to see how it does it (will be a device under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Render) and quickly found the right DWORD that toggles (for me this was {77f01702-a9d1-11df-a289-000bdb7312a5},15). Knowing that, I can quickly read the current state (headphones or speakers) and then toggle appropriately. All with one hotkey with no window or mouse manipulation!
I looked through this sub to see if anyone ever posted this solution but I didn't see anything like this so I wanted to share. You can find my AHK script here to use as a starting point (mine doesn't do anything but toggle with Ctrl+Alt+S). You will need to install AHK and create a folder with the AHK script and the sbz-switch binary from Github (and put a shortcut to the script in your Windows Startup folder). You may also have a different device ID or DWORD but you can quickly identify the device ID with sbz-switch (use dump) and use that to narrow down your registry search (my ID was {0dd8927a-b76b-4bc6-8d6f-19076bf2e6e9}).
Final note: sbz-switch looks really powerful to me. It allows more than just headphone/speaker toggling. If there are power users out there, you will love what you can do with this. Big thanks to Matt, the author.
Yes! I don't remember where it is. Maybe somewhere in accessibility. But it automatically switches to speaker when you move your iPhone away from your ear and off of speaker phone when you move your iPhone back to your ear. Go to the VoiceOver manual and search for speaker phone. If you don't find anything, go to Apple support for iPhone and search for speaker phone. Good luck!
Actually, I make use of the ability to hold the phone away from me to automatically turn on the speaker and hold the phone close to my face to toggle off the speaker again. This works very well during phone calls. However it does not work when trying to listen to voice mail or in any other situations. Voice Mail is particularly a problem since by the time I flick around to find the Speaker button half of the oice Mail mesage has gone by.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could quickly toggle the speaker on/off in any app? People around me have sometimes gotten annoyed when I couldn't quickly lower the volume of VoiceOver when in a quiet room. How simple it would be to just hold the phone up to my ear to quiet VoiceOver so that only I could hear it and not have to worry about the time it takes to lower the volume by repeatedly hitting the volume switches (and then have to increase the volume again with the volume up/down buttons when I'm done listening quietly).
Hi.
I also disabled the automatic switching to speaker phone, when we move the phone away from our ear because I don't like it.
I wish there was a jesture to activate speaker phone with 3 or 4 fingers or even with both the volume buttons for example.
Whem we make a call ourselves, it is easy to activate the speaker if needed while we wait for somebody to answer.
If we recieve a call, we have to hide the keypad first, and then find the speaker button which is not very quick.

Looking for some guidance here for my very simple Speaker Selector setup. I have a Speaker Selector that can turn on/off my in ceiling speaker pairs via a very straight forward REST API. When you query the Speaker Selector with a GET, then you get the following response:
The SS-4.2 offers two operating configurations: Impedance Matching and Bypass. Impedance-matching mode provides automatic overload protection for use even with high-power amplifiers. This mode allows multiple pairs of speakers to be safely connected to an amplifier using the built-in automatic impedance-matching circuitry.
Bypass mode is used for direct speaker switching with remote impedance-matching volume controls. This allows local control in each room as well as higher efficiency; however, in this mode the impedance matching and overload protection are not engaged.
Designed for use with 8-ohm loudspeakers, the SS-4.2 also provides safe connection to bridged amplifiers and even works in applications where there is a floating ground. It has spring-loaded speaker terminals for quick connection and can accommodate speaker wire up to 12 gauge.
When I get a call on my iPhone 12 I click the Speaker button so I can leave my hands free to work (and I don't want the phone near my head). Instead of going straight to speaker it offers me a choice of Speaker OR my MacBook Pro. I don't want that option! How do I disable it?

My only problem with this approach, is that if I want to set output to only ONE of the 2 speakers, I have to set the switch to MONO mode, and then also may have to unplug cable from one channel plug (L) and then on to the other channel ... and the idea of having the amp ON while unloading the speakers is kind of ... scary...
That's exactly how mine is connected...works great. If I'm listening to 2 channel pre-amp, then turn my AVR on, which activates the Niles and switches the power, I always turn the pre-amp off. I don't want to risk a double signal to the speakers, probably don't have to, but choose to.
would be interesting to see what is inside those switches. Most of us just want a switch for 2 amps and 2 or more speakers. Those switches have transformers and volume control so that the amp does not see too low an impedance load.
I have no such luck with wireless (i.e. USB dongle based) headsets (tried with Logitech G533 and Plantronics Voyager Focus): I expected the on/off switch on the headset to enable or disable the headset over the speakers. That's not the case. I don't want to unplug the USB dongle from the back of the PC case. I tried shortcut based utilities like AudioSwitch, but they do not work for game sounds when in-game (confirmed with Diablo 3, World of Warcraft, Borderlands 2) although they work fine for Windows sounds and Winamp (when in desktop or even when in-game).
Question: what are the convenient one-step solutions (such as one keyboard shortcut or one on/off switch on headset button) that really work (even when in-game) to switch between PC speakers and wireless headset?
The innovative Aton DLA4 speaker selector lets you put together a four-room audio system in your home with independent volume control for each room. Aton's DLA (Dynamic Level Adjustment) technology actively monitors your system to ensure maximum available power to each room while protecting the switcher and your receiver or amp. Optional accessories from Aton accommodate more advanced multi-room audio installations.
Windows lets you convert stereo sound into a single channel so you can hear everything, even if you're using just one headphone. Select the Start button, then select SettingsĀ > Accessibility > Audio, and then switch on the Mono audio toggle.

Someone in a group I belong to was talking about the idea of bypassing the speaker within the MMT-8 so that they could use the click output to send a clock to non-midi devices without having to listen to the very loud metronome the whole time. I thought this was a great question, and so I explored. First I switched on the play click, and connected the click out to the EXT SYNC input of an SH-101. I had high hopes, but again, just like in 1987, nothing happened. ff782bc1db
