At the moment I have the Bootcamp audio drivers installed and the Audio driver from the WIKI (Sigmatel 9220/9221/9223 [5.10.4991.0_XP32_XP64_MCE_2K_V2.EXE]) installed.

when I want to just use my headphones I update the driver to the Sigmatel drivers from the WIKI and when I want the speakers on I roll back the drivers to the Bootcamp ones.

This obviously isnt ideal and though does not take a great deal of time its not a very elegant solution.

So is it possible to automate the process using a batch file or something ideally id like a system tray icon which you can right click or double click to select the driver to be used and it just switches it..

does anyone know if this is possible?

Cheers

Maybe it could be solved by using Driver Genius (http://www.driver-soft.com/) or some similair utility? Driver Genius can backup already installed drivers and create independent auto-installers from them. I'm not sure how it works, but it has a free 15-day trial if you'd like to try it out. If these auto-installers install the drivers automatically, then it would be just a matter of creating a "headphone" link for the auto-installer that enables the headphones and a "speaker" link for the auto-installer that enables the speakers. Like I said, it's worth a try...
