Yes I know.. that's whay I'm looking at:
IDirectsound.SetSpeakerConfig

Thanks for providing that... works great! Always amazed what you can accomplish in AutoHotkey with so little code.

Thanks for the scripts guys, they both worked well for me, but I came here looking for something a little different. The settings changed here are completely new to me, I had no idea the OS had different settings for Headphones, desktop speakers etc. I know Winamp has similar settings and if I'm not feeling too lazy I will switch those.

I constantly switch between using my headphones and my desktop speakers and everytime I switch I need to plugin or plugout my headphones. Does anyone know if there's a way of making the switch without having to physically disconnect the headphone cable? It would be much better to leave the headphones plugged in at all times and simply switch by using a hotkey or running a program.

The way I did it requires two soundcards. I hooked up the headphones on one of them and the speakers on the other. I use quicksoundswitch to switch between those soundcards.

Thanks for the advice Vrokolos, I was hoping for a simpler solution though! I read there may be a physical switch in the hardware where the cable connects, which is either on or off. So on certain computers I guess this is impossible to toggle using software. I'll remember your trick when I get a new PC though.
