Switch to Headphones ReviewBegware? - Version: 1.1, 3/7/2009 08:25PM PST

First off, this is NOT freeware, it's ADWARE!
  • When you open it, this message pops up: Please send in the $5 to make popups go away: goto http//www.zucom.com/swh to see how
  • That's BS!
  • On top of that, it doesn't work!! Every time I try to open it, it appears to be opening, the donation message pops up, the sound preferences pane opens, and after 2 seconds the app quits.
  • I have a new Macbook Pro with 4GB of RAM, and I just installed Leopard 4 days ago. Since then I've been re-installing apps from my old iBook. Everything works but this. I just discovered it and downloaded it tonight, since Detour doesn't work on Intel.
  • Since I have a fresh OS install with plenty of RAM, and this ADWARE does briefly open the sound prefs, I'm guessing there's a bug causing it to quit. Maybe because it hasn't been updated in a year, and I'm using OS X 10.5.6.
  • With 1,587 downloads, I'm really surprised no one else has commented on the donation request!

    I run an audio production studio and use a lot of Macs, this utility has saved me countless hours of manually switching back and forth. Version 1.1 is just as the previous versions, IT JUST WORKS!!
