Headphone Speaker Switcher 1.2

Rainmeter skin used to switch between headphones and speakers.
If it doesn't work edit the numbers in the .ini file:
[Variables]
headphones=0
speakers=1
To get the correct nubmers open "playback devices" in windows (right click the sound icon in the taskbar).
The item at top the is item number 0. Next item is number 1 and so on.
See this image to understand better what the numbers stand for: github.com/s4wny/rainmeter-hea…
----------
Designers feel free to fork and rework this design. I haven't seen any other skin that does this and works and I think a lot of people actually want this. So would be great if people helped redesigning and spreading this.

LOVE it! Thank you 
I am working with the Radian Linear Visualizer 1.9.3... I have found that the switch does not seem to allow the visualizer to operate on both selections and am contacting the author to help me with the code... If you have a suggestion that would be great. I have NOT yet tested this behavior on other visualizers so... pardon. I am just excited and wanted to say thank you right away.

I've been using this skin for about a week now and it worked fine. However, just recently, when I clicked on Headphones, instead, the sound would switch to my speakers and vice-versa. Weird glitch but I fixed it by changing the order in the ini file. Even though Speakers was the first item in my Playback Devices, I had to set it to 1 in the ini file for the skin to work properly. Just wanted to share this so that it is known that it occurred.
I had the problem where there variables were in reverse order, for example, the device at the bottom of the list of playback devices is 0, next one up 1, and so on. So I set the devices I wanted accordingly: the headphones button is set to switch to my computer's speakers (because for some reason my headphones don't show up in the device list, but they work when the computer's speakers are the default device). I set the speaker button to switch to my TV's speakers. When I click the headphones button on the skin, it switches to my computer's speakers like it should. However, my TV speakers become the "default communication device" for some reason. And then when I try the speaker button, it won't switch the default device back to my TV's speakers like it should. Any help?

Last night I upgrade my Windows 10 computer to build 10586.29 and it caused this skin to behave in reverse order. By this I mean my what was previously set to '0' and what was set to '1' were now reversed. If I clicked Heaphones, it'd turn on my speakers and vice-versa.
It was an easy remedy, I just swapped the assigned number in the .ini file, but I wanted to provide a warning to any new comers who might come along, think it's broken, and not give it a try - it's still an amazing skin!
