USB Audio/Line Out switch?

[L. Kenter]

Hi everyone,

 

My current audio setup for my PC is a HyperX Cloud II (with the USB controller thingy) and Logitech Z623 speakers and I'm looking for a dedicated switch to easily select one or the other as output.

I'm looking for a switch that can switch between USB audio output and regular 3.5mm audio out.

After a lot of Googling the only thing I found that comes close is the M-Audio AIR|HUB, which looks to be just a regular Line Out amp with a USB hub. 

 

Does anyone know of a USB/Line out switch or am I out of luck here?

 

Thanks in advance

Back before I bought my new interface I spent months looking for something like that and I never did. Maybe there is something but I never found it.
Windows + G is your friend, honestly the fastest way to change outputs by far.

That's not possible because USB is a digital universal interface and 3.5mm is analog audio only.

The only way to switch between two devices like that is through windows itself, in the software.

So you either need to manually do it by clicking the speaker icon in the bottom right or set up some hotkey script to switch it for you.

Windows introduced the Game Bar recently that has all those settings real easy to change by using the Windows + G hotkey
Honestly it's great

I have to admit that I completely forgot about the Win + G thing, that does make it a lot easier. However, I'm just wondering if there isn't any physical switch thing that's just an extension of the software part. Like some speaker sets have the 'remote' volume knob that just changes the system volume, not the actual level of the speakers itself. 

Anyway, thanks for the Win+G suggestion! No more alt-tabbing back and forth to change outputs for me
