Switching from Monitor to TV gaming.

[bydus]

I use my pc on my desk to play fps games and work but I like to play on the TV with controller for some single player games. I have my tv conncted via 10meter hdmi cable and moniotor is connected via dvi. I was wondering if there is some quick way to switch audio, because when I do windows key+P i navigate to other screen but I have to manually change the audio default output to hdmi TV - can this be done automatically ?

You could use autohotkey to create a key binding

You could also do it the ghetto way and just unplug one cable and plug in the other.

I think the point is avoiding effort

Yes, that's extremely difficult.

nah its easy

That's what I would do. I can't be bothered to screw around with creating hotkeys.

takes 10 seconds, and you will never have to bend over and unplug cables again

That's why I have my pc beside my monitor on my desk.

I wrote my own software that did it, but there are a couple - SoundSwitcher allows you to do it and bimd to a hot key, but it didn't work on some of my analog equipment. But then I have 6 audio devices on my PC so it might have been overloaded.

Many thanks, will try it

It's also easy to just switch audio playback device from the motherboard or sound card to the Nvidia HD Audio device in the Sound control panel. I think you might be missing the point, though. OP wants a shortcut.

Yeah, I know. I'm just screwing around.
