I have a usb headset (hyperx cloud 2), and a crappy old pair of beige speakers that I got for free from work (single 3.5mm jack)

 

I only need to use one at a time and I'd like to switch between them fully, using simple software without unplugging anything. 

I tried using a program called AudioSwitch, it's nice and easy to use, but it only moves some programs, and others seem to be locked to either my headset or my speakers.

 

Any ideas? Something with hotkeys would be fantastic. Thanks!

that takes too long, and I can't set hotkeys to easily change it. I'd like to just press like (ctrl + PgDn) to switch inputs, and need a program for that.

hey, found a cool program in case anyone else wanted it, its called AudioSwitcher, https://audioswit.ch/er . It works very well and let's me easily map my own binds, I've had no problems and definitely recommend for anyone who sometimes wants to game and sometimes wants to listen to music.
