Complementing other audio-specific solutions like
BTmono
or
Equalizer
, Lesser AudioSwitch is a handy
audio management
tool for those who utilize multiple audio devices at any given time. It can also be used to
toggle built-in microphones
to select which one to detect voice input from users.
For multiple output sources
Nowadays, it's not uncommon to own and use multiple audio devices. Depending on the use case, your sound preference, or even convenience, there are
Bluetooth earbuds
,
work headsets
, and what have you. Hence, it can be a bit tricky to
keep track of what's playing
. The same goes for when you're trying to troubleshoot issues with output devices. In such cases, Lesser AudioSwitch can help.
The UI in Lesser AudioSwitch is quite straightforward, with
four output sources
to toggle, namely, Speakers, Headphones, Bluetooth, and USB DAC. The first two are pretty much self-explanatory, so switch the two as needed. Then, you shuffle between
wireless headphones and speakers
seamlessly when they're all active. A nice bonus for audiophiles is the included support for portable DACs for the best sound quality possible.
Lastly, if you're on a call or playing games with others, you can also
control mics independently
should you want them separate from your audio output device. One important thing to note is that due to changes to the core operating system, this app is
not compatible with Android 11 and up
. Instead, you can rely on the built-in options in the OS for similar functions.
Quick output switching
If you use multiple audio devices for various situations and find yourself having difficulty switching among them, then Lesser AudioSwitch is an app that can help you out. It's easy to use and supports all types of sources, whether wired or wireless. It won't work on newer versions of Android, though, but aside from that, this is
a handy tool
to have around.
