How are YOU switching sound in Windows? Unless we know how you are doing it, how can we suggest an easier way?

Usually HDMI takes priority over anything else. To switch it, simply open up the Sound window in Control Panel, right click the one you want, and choose Set as Default.

Thanks i know about that, but what i'd like was make it with just 2 clicks,

Right-click on the speaker icon in system tray, click Playback Devices, select which to use is the quickest way I know.

I just plug and unplug my computer speakers to my front outputs on my case and my computer automatically swaps the outputs upon doing so from my HDMI to my PC speakers.

That works too but some of us prefer not to plug/unplug things when we can do it with a few mouse clicks.
