Same configuration and same problem if SoundSwitch has been launched autostart at power-on.
EDIT - problem reason identified and workaround solution found.
DIAGNOSIS - My configuration has the Alt+Ctrl+F11 hotkey already registered after power-on (checked with the portable utility HotKeysList from NirSoft Freeware). Maybe the Intel HD Graphics setup software is responsible of that, even if the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel is not installed on my configuration. Unfortunately the conflict is silent because the SoundSwitch app is running on hidden window mode and you cannot see its exception notification.
SOLUTION - Disable the SoundSwitch setting "Start automatically with Windows" . After system startup send the Alt+Ctrl+F11: nothing happens except that the hotkey unregisters itself. Start now the SoundSwitch.exe and you can check the Alt+Ctrl+F11 hotkey run properly.
What happened?
I had SoundSwitch set on my old computer to initiate Playback device change on hotkey Alt+Ctrl+` (it is actually saved as Alt+Ctrl+oem3) It worked fine.
Now I got new computer with Windows 11. The same setting does not work. SoundSwitch allows me to set this hothey but it does not respond when hotkey is pressed.
If I change hotkey to, for example, Alt+Ctrl+F12 then it works properly.
Step to reproduce
Open settings and set Alt+Ctrl+` as hotkey for Playback devices. Then press defined hotkey to change ouptut device. It wil not react to hotkey.
