I'm putting a lot of work into working on Soundswitch right now, so expect some big announcements soon-ish. @Peter: All great suggestions, and I added them to my upcoming feature lists.

It's great! However, I completely agree with Ryan's post that there needs to be some way to tell if we're on 5.1 mode or speaker mode (ie/ via tooltip or some other way) because sometimes after several hours, the user may forget which mode they're on. Also, there are times when pressing the hotkey doesn't toggle it right away (sometimes it requires 2 presses instead of 1) so I find myself going into Control Panel and manually checking anyway (which defeats the purpose of this time-saving program you have). If I have to manually check in Control Panel, then I'd likely make changes there instead of your program since I am already there. Note: this is signficant for certain sound cards where the default device is the same for both speakers and headphones so it is necessary to toggle the "speakers" when listening to the 2 pc speakers and "5.1 surround" when listening to the headset.

So helpful! Is there any way to make it have the ability to switch between recording devices as well as speakers? As I use use a USB mic and speakers when using loud speakers and my headset and built in mic when using my headphones. You are the absolute man for making this. So helpful!

Really saves me from the headache of manually opening the control panel and changing the default device -- and from coding it my self! I was right about too out of desperation after purchasing a Logitech G930 Head Set :P You should talk to Logitech into paying you to include your program with their Logitech gaming Software ;) Awesome program.

Known bug. 2. Not with the current version. I'm heavily into writing a new application that switches devices in a different manner which won't pop up the system Sounds window. I'd expect the new version within a few weeks. @Olafur:

The display a tray tip thing displays the previous default device, so if I swap from Logitech G930 to Speakers, the popup will say "Default Device : Logitech G930" knowing the default now is Speakers 2. Is it possible to improve when I'm switching between devices, soundswitch opens the "System Sounds" window and closes it instantly, is it possible to make the program do it invisibly ?
