But QuickMX (or QuickMix as it may be) doesn't work under Vista.

 Hi all,

 This is a request for someone to write a small utility program.

Many of us in vista, and likely in xp also, have found ourselves switching between audio devices (usually by just plugging in a USB headset, or switching to a bluetooth headset), and back again to our built-in audio card.

Somewhere along the way the switch can leave us with no default audio output device, or perhaps with the volume turned all the way down, or the speakers muted, but what essentially happens is that this switching can leave us with no audio at all, and we don't have braille displays!

Could someone write a program that we could run, which would set the default sound device back to the built-in audio card, unmute it, and set the volume to 50%?

If knowing what the proper built-in audio device is, maybe the programs initial setup could save that info somewhere (it the registry or in it's own .ini file)?

That would get many blind people out of a tough situation, which is getting worse as all these alternate sound output devices become more and more a part of our lives.

 thanks for any help.

 Chip
