Vista - Create disable/enable device shortcut for sound card?

Create disable/enable device shortcut for sound card?

I recently upgraded my sound card to an Azuentech X-Plosion Cinema (Nice card BTW) which I connect to my receiver via coax. I also connect my Xbox 360 to the receiver via optical.

The dilemma:

Both the coax and optical inputs on my receiver are on the same input (Sat/Cable) which means in order to hear sound from my 360 I must disable the sound card in device manager and then re-enable it once I'm finished with the 360. I was wondering whether it was possible to create a Desktop shortcut to disable/enable my sound card? Just like a virtual ON/OFF button.

I'm also curious if by continually disabling/enabling the sound card, does Vista consider this to be a new hardware installation every time and will trigger the activation issue?

I'm running Vista Ultimate SP1 x86

Any help or ideas appreciated.

I'm still curious to know if enabling/disabling a device is considered new hardware?
