## Description

Lesser AudioSwitch lets you force your audio output to switch effortlessly between headphones, speakers, USB, Bluetooth, or other devices. It supports microphone switching and even allows complete speaker muting on most devices. Key features include Widgets, Quick-setting tiles, notification shortcuts, and Auto-Switch that detects headphone insertion/removal to change outputs or mute automatically. With Restore-on-Boot, your preferred audio output is active immediately after device startup. \n\nThis extension is ideal for fixing device detection issues, muting speakers when headphones are plugged in, using headset mics while playing audio on speakers, or forcing local audio playback during Android’s cast-screen feature. Note: Due to Android 11 restrictions, native output selection now replaces much of this app's functionality on newer versions. Advanced users can also control audio output via custom intent actions for flexible automation.
