Hey,
I've got a little app on my Mac (forget the name) that sits in the menu bar and let's me quickly access/change the audio preferences (USB Codec/LineIn/Internal Mic/etc.)
I've just switched my music stuff back to a new PC laptop (for performance reasons). With Audacity and my IP softphone, I have two apps that like to change my sound settings. Digging down and reconfiguring everytime is a pain in the a$$.
Can anyone recommend a similar app for Windows, that runs on startup and gives me quick access to all my sound prefs.?
Any developers reading... I'd be more than willing to pay a few bucks for such an app, as would many people I'm sure.
Many thanks,
Dennis

Re: Managing inputs in Windows XP. Software recommendations?
I don't think Audacity will change your OS's audio settings, except for the volume slider. I'm not sure how to stop that from happening.
My guess is that you have Audacity set up to read the OS's default device, instead of selecting the device you want directly.
Open Audacity and go to the edit -> preferences -> audio i/o menu, here, select the input source that you want to use, don't select the "Microsoft Sound Mapper." Now, Audacity will always be set to record from that source, even if the other program changes your OS's default device. There's still the problem with the volume slider, but I can't help you there.
