Command line switching audio devices (Xonar AE)

I'm trying to find a way to use command line arguments to switch from the headphone port to the front speakers on my Xonar AE card.

 

The reason being is that I'd like to assign a macro key to switch my audio out from my headphones to my speakers without opening the Sonic Studio software for ASUS sound cards.

 

Right now I'm using "nircmd" to switch between the two, but this requires that the devices be plugged into different sound cards in order for them to show up in the Windows audio manager.

 

The issue with the ASUS one is that one won't appear as plugged in until it is switched in the ASUS software first.

 

Images are for reference. I have both the speakers and headphones plugged into the sound card but I cannot figure out how to swap between them without entering the ASUS software.
