Audio Devices Manager 7

Your computer is a powerful multifunctional tool which can communicate with various other devices, given proper connection is established. Audio makes no exception here, with options to route external or virtual devices. As such, Audio Devices Manager 7 helps you easily switch between playback and recording devices on your PC.

The application spends most of its time in the tray area, while switching is also done from the corresponding menu. Right-clicking the tray icon unveils a slim menu with menus for playback, and recording devices on your PC. They don’t necessarily have to be external, and even virtual ones are read.

However, the tray menu is not the only way to make the switch, with more configurations to be found in the options menu. On the one hand, it can start with Windows to be ready by the time you reach the desktop, show notifications on change, and whether or not to enable device links, and hotkeys.

The device link feature is pretty helpful, especially if you only want to switch audio devices when working with specific programs. Linking a program to a specific playback or recording device forces that device to used when the linked item starts, returning to previous values when closed. You can set one application per audio device.

An alternative way to switch devices is through hotkeys. In a dedicated panel, there’s the possibility to assign just about any combination. Luckily, you’re not limited to one hotkey, and are free to configure a custom combination of keys for every playback and audio device. These can be set to toggle notifications, and even hotkey support.

In conclusion, Audio Devices Manager 7 is sure to help you access the necessary audio devices in the blink of an eye. Individual management of playback and recording devices provides a great deal of flexibility, especially when considering the variety of options to switch audio devices.
