switching from stereo to 5.1 with a hotkey

nikosgevre

I have hooked up a 5.1 audio setup and my headset with a splitter on the green audio port. My computer case is quite far from my hands (I have to stand up to reach it). Sometimes i want to use headset and sometimes my Creative surround system. So i am just turning off the surround system whenever i want to use the headset. But since the setup is on 5.1 i am losing a lot of sounds since my headset is connected to the green audio port (especially the bass).
I want to switch from stereo to 5.1 audio on the fly if possible. I saw some articles online for switching audio devices on the fly but i am more interested in switching the speaker configuration instead of audio devices and if possible using the LGS instead of downloading a different hotkey program.

I have logitech g613 and using LGS to bind keys to the extra programmable keys of my keyboard.
Thank you for your time :) appreciate every respond

I use equalizer APO, and set it to do different things depending on whether it detects a 2 channel source or 5 channel source
