Macos – Easier way to switch sound output device

audiomacmacossoftware-rec

I bought a USB soundcard for my Macbook Pro, so I can use a headset mic for Skype. By default, the. sound goes to a pair of external speakers (for iTunes) or the built-in speakers (on the road/gaming)

Is there a simple way to switch or toggle (keyboard shortcut, menu-bar icon, dock-able app) between these two output devices.

Apple-Menu->System Preferences->Sound is just too many clicks, requiring much precise mouse manuvering, when all I want to do is switch the output in a hurry).

I'd rather not buy a "switcher", one more device to carry around!

It sounds like you are after SoundSource:

SoundSource is a tiny tool for OS X enabling you to switch your audio input and output sources with a single click, and even adjust their volume settings.

Another program that does the same thing is PTHVolume.
