AudioSwitch VS Open-Shell-Menu

Using this app I can switch between audio input devices with a macro. My plan is to set a button on the headset to activate the macro so I can walk away from my desk and switch to by headsets microphone as needed.

I just use AudioSwitch instead. It's a little icon that sits in the tray which you can color code for whichever input/output is active, then right-click to quick switch it.

I installed a program called AudioSwitch to map a hotkey that toggles sound devices, so that I could try to switch sound devices in-game, but even after pressing the hotkey in-game, audio always only came out of the headphones.

I don't think there's a built in way to do it, but with AudioSwitch, you can easily set a keybind to change between two audio devices quickly.

I've never heard of AudioSwitch before but did find what MIGHT be the website, and another one in GitHub. Both are a bit old (2018 and 2017 respectively) and are not the same codebase, but they could have a common parent. Nothing specifying that though and on mentions of forks either. But maybe one of them is what you're talking about? I'm also not seeing the headphone stand at all. Could you provide some links for said products and that'd maybe help some?

Step 1) I installed AudioSwitch Download Link.

AudioSwitch (Free) - To change device in Windows between my headset and soundbar with the click of a button.

I've been very happy happy with https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu as a Start Menu replacement. If ads have rolled out to my Windows install, I wouldn't even notice.

Whenever I set up a new computer for older family members, despite it being windows 11, I always install open shell[1] and retro bar[2]. Between the two, I've made the operating system look very close to Windows XP visually, and they always appreciate it.

There's Open-Shell but it's not exactly a full WM replacement.

Hi yall, I used Open-Shell to change the icon.

There is also Open Shell, a free and open source tool which performs a similar function.

I wish so bad there is a port (a fork) of the Legacy Kickoff start menu for Windows: https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu/issues/1083

Classic Start Menu

I use Open Shell (fork of Classic Shell) as a replacement to original Start Menu. This gives me full control over what appears in start menu - no results from internet, animated tiles, etc (I am on Win 10 though, from what I read the Win 11 is supported, but not yet officially [1]). It could be a solution to the ads appearing in start menu.

Looks like you're going for an XP theme. May I suggest using open-shell to skin the taskbar, start menu, and start button if you wanna take that extra step? You can also find the taskbar skin and start button here. Also, I would remove the search bar, task view button, and news & interest area of the taskbar just to bring things together. This is all just a suggestion, you don't have to if you don't want to.
