Kimsan, thanks for this suggestion. Knowing it works for you, I just downloaded it. The blurbs and user comments say it works for Windows 7 through 10. Here are two links.
The first takes you to a page describing what it does: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/easily-switch-audio-devices-on-windows/ This second link, which I came across after I'd already installed the application, reportedly takes you to the official download website: http://audioswit.ch/er -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Kimsan Song Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2016 8:50 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] accidently changed playback device The program I couldn't remember when posting last time, one can switch from the headphones to the speaker using a keystroke. It's called audio switcher. If Kevin might find it helpful, I will use my favorite keystroke to deliver it to you via dropbox. Just let me know buddy.

Don't tab. Instead, arrow down until you hear the device you wish to make your default. As I recall, the applications key comes in very handy once focus is on that device. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Kevin Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2016 2:31 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] accidently changed playback device I can get to the sound control panel no problem, just b by pressing win key and typing sound. that brings up the sound control panel and once opened the first is playback. the problem is I have a number of sound output devices. how do I choose the speakers. when I did it without sound I think I got to the sound control panel and when I arrowed up and down no sound came on! maybe I didn't get the sound control panel! -----Original Message----- From: Kimsan Song Sent: Friday, December 2, 2016 9:26 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] accidently changed playback device There is a program that could do it after you create a keystroke, but since I'm not sure where I have it at the moment, just do the following: 1. Windows key r and type mmsys.cpl and press enter 2. You will then be in the playback tab, which will be familiar to you.
