Causes any problems switching frequently between 2 diffrent audio devices?
I'm using windows 7 with my computer currently outputting sound through my av receiver speaker setup. In the future when I get into mmo gaming again, at times i'll wanna switch to my Logitech wireless headphones when i'm doing group stuff so I can use teamspeak.
If I switch back and forth between my av speakers and my Logitech headset frequently will it cause problems with windows 7?
Reason i'm asking is cause in the past when I got the headset I only listend through it and after several months when I tried to switch back to my speakers I had trouble getting it to output. I'm hoping that wont happen again.

Only if you have a bad/crappy driver for one of your audio sources. Windows itself won't care in the least.
Windows has no issues switching between audio devices frequently. I have a Logitech headset, and I use my monitor's built-in speakers when I feel like taking my headset off. Your issues are likely caused by something other than Windows.
If you want an easy way to switch between audio devices in Windows, use a program called NirCmd. I have two of the programmable buttons on my keyboard set to launch NirCmd with the appropriate command line switches.
