Quickly toggle microphone playback (sidetone)

Question

first post here.

I would like to quickly be able to toggle microphone playback through speakers (side tone). The specific steps and settings I am referring too can be seen here: https://superuser.com/a/713809

I really enjoy creating batch or other quick short cuts that cut down on the steps to perform tasks. In this example, I use a third party amp with optional headphone out, sometimes the headphones are present, but sometimes they are not and the side tone can be very loud.

Is there anyway to create a shortcut or registry modifier to change this setting on the fly?

Answer 1

I really was not expecting to figure out how to do this, but I have found a third party utility SoundVolumeView by NirSoft that can monitor and change audio properties, it also has the ability to create shortcuts for these items.
