If you are using Windows 11 and you need to quickly switch between headphones, speakers or other sound devices, there is a quick and almost hidden way to manage your audio output from the taskbar. Here's how to do it.
First, click on the speaker icon at the far right of the taskbar. It is located just to the left of the date and time. Actually, it's part of a button, as you will see.
Clicking on the speaker icon, the Quick Settings menu will appear. If the volume slider is visible, click on the “>” arrow to the right of the slider. (If it is not visible, you will have to click on the pencil icon, later in “Add” and choose “Volume” of the list).
After clicking the arrow next to the volume slider, a list for managing audio devices will appear in the Quick Settings menu. Select the audio device you would like to use from the list by clicking on it.
And that is. Just click outside the Quick Settings menu to close the menu and save your changes.
If you need to make more detailed changes to Windows sound settings 11 quickly, just start Quick Settings again, click the arrow next to the volume slider and select “More volume settings” at the bottom of the menu.
The Settings app will open, automatically pointing to System> Sound, where you can enter more sound input and output options. Happy listening!
