How to switch audio device in Windows 11 Quick Settings

Need to switch your audio device in a hurry? You don't have to go all the way to Settings every time, just open Quick Settings, choose the arrow beside the volume slider, and pick your device. In the Dev Channel, you'll also see an icon for your current output there. #Windows11 #12DaysOfWIP

Is there any hotkey for this?
It would be even more convenient.

These things are supposed not to require a tutorial, but it does!!!. Thank you.

Thanks! I didn't realize that little arrow was there, I was going to settings every single time 😅

In one of the last updates I got a BUG... the devices are no longer shown in there and that speaker icon is shown with an X over it aways with the volume level at zero. Although the audio works fine. And I still can change it from speakers or headphone when I go to Settings/system/sound. But I cannot use the shortcut shown in this video anymore. Can you help me fix that!?!?!??!?

Lol i thought i had to do this every time through the panel. Thanks man. Didn't see this, but now they change output icon to right arrow...

CTRL + Windows key + V is the shortcut to open that menu

Oh lord I feel so stupid for not seeing this. I have no idea why they made it like this. Thanks for help!

I love using audioswitch software. Also i am waiting for the device that would do the job for me. There is one during the development stage, the audioswitch headphone stand.

The 'greater-than' sign is misleading.

[maman]

Is there any way to change the output icon instead ?

[lilhoody]

THank you

[mateuszkaron]

doen's work for me, it only changes music output, not browser sounds lik netflix for example

[davik]

[darknstormyimages]

OMG thankyou!!! I was going to buy an apple! now you have saved me from that inpending doom

This is not quick. It is one click more than Windows 10.

[picadilly]

wt fudge :P here iam right clicking the sound thingy and going into setting for a year!!!! thanks :)

[Theanh]

omg this's so bad compare to windows 10

Doesn't work... Won't let me select front or rear port for headphones.

Windows 11 sucks. I spend all this money on a pro-audio board for recording and Windows 11 won't even let me use headphones. I have to use my TV as default. This sucks!

[mrowczyk]

still doesn't work it plays on my headphones
