How to change the audio output on an Android without disconnecting your headphones or speakers
You can change the audio output on Android 11 by enabling Developer Mode on your phone.
Once enabled, you can switch devices by pulling down the media player's notification and expanding the media controls.
If your phone is running Android 11 or later and your audio app supports it, you can now easily change your audio output destination with just a tap or two without the need to disconnect and reconnect playback devices. This lets you easily switch between Bluetooth earbuds and Bluetooth speaker, for example, in the middle of playing music on Spotify.
