About the Workflow

This workflow supports quickly switching sound input and output devices.

It offers hotkeys to quickly switch between three input favorites and output favorites. You can also use a single hotkey to rotate among the favorites in sequence. Those can also be triggered using Alfred Remote.

Listing Devices
