Spatial Audio Switcher
This is a simple AutoHotkey v2.0 tray application to change spatial audio formats, default formats, exclusivity and speaker configurations. It also has links to various connected applications.
This very simple tray application wouldn't be possible without awesome work of Nir Sofer, Chris Mallet and others. So all thanks should go to them.
SoundVolumeCommandLine console application from NirSoft is needed to control the audio device. Download it and put it inside Resources directory.
SoundVolumeView is the GUI version of SoundVolumeCommandLine. The scripts also provides a link to open it. Download it and put it inside Resources directory. But it is not necessary to use the script.
To run the script you need to install AutoHotkey v2.
