Easy switching between Headphones and Line Out

Does anyone know an easy, quick way to to switch from Headphones to Line out and vice versa besides going into System Prefs and doing it? Need to switch between the 2 quite a bit throughout the day and was hoping there's a quicker way without all the clicking!

Thanks,
Paul

Search this forum for several recent discussions on this issue. I would do the search for you but am in the middle of eating my supper.

If you add the Volume status menu to the menu bar, you can opt+select the men and change from there. Go to the Sound System Prefs and click the checkbox.

Awesome that worked, thanks!

And I didn't even have to search the entire Apple boards as some had suggested (???)
