Sorry for posting such a specific problem,

I usually have my Sennheiser headset wrapped around head or lying on the table for the microphone and use speakers but when it gets late and i need to switch from speakers to headset, or when I get a phone call and switch to speakers, I like to quickly toggle between the two.

I installed the SoundMax 5.2 drivers for this chipset (m2n-sli deluxe) from the ASUS site:
SoundMAX_Audio_V51016110_32bit

That means simply: turn off speakers/put on headset or turn on speakers/take off headset. But at the moment, to do this properly I have to crawl under the desk and switch the input as SoundMax only allows one input to use one device at a time..

Does anyone else have this problem and know a software remedy for it (that doesn't require purchasing additional hardware)?
 
Just remove drivers by Asus (or remove your device in Device Manager) and let Windows install its drivers.
(after removing and reboot open DeviceManager -> Unidentefied device (Properties) -> Drivers -> Renew)
