Hi, @okn; yes, it would a little faster, but you'll still see the System Preferences (or System Settings) open. Here's what you can do:

  1. Download and install: Set Sound Output

  2. If you want to set a sound output to an explicit device, then run Set Sound Output from the Keyboard Maestro Editor. Do this for each of your devices. For more information, see the description above the download link or the comments within the macro.

  3. If you want to also be able to toggle between two devices (as you mentioned), then download and install: Toggle Sound Output

  4. Refer to the Toggle Sound Output header comment. You'll see that you'll need to enter the name of both output devices.

Feel free to follow-up with addition questions, @okn.
