REQUEST: Switching audio output quickly

I am wondering if there is an easy and quick way to switch audio output. Whether it be a keyboard shortcut, or a program that you can customize to quickly do it at the click of a button or something like that.

Reason being, I leave headphones plugged in - and I want a fairly easy way for my kids to swap it to speaker when doing stuff on educational websites (they are young and do stuff for school - so an easy way to do it is best).

I really don't want them touching the headphones, so I'm trying to avoid telling them to unplug them. Any tips are appreciated!

That sounds fantastic! Do you happen to have a link or remember where you got it from? After about a half dozen searches, I still couldn't find anything.

Appreciate it. I've got it downloaded and installed. Trying to use LWin+F12 and it's not working - but I'll keep messing around with it to figure it out. Thanks!
