When changing the output device, then FxSound should switch to the last/preferred profile for the specific device. Additionally, this is done, when the output device is switched automatically.
Background: I have a laptop with built-in speakers and such laptop is also used on a desktop workplace with a different speaker setup. Therefore I need different sound profiles. At the moment I switch it manually.
This feature would make my workflows easier, since I forget most times to switch until sound comes which doesnt sound well because of the wrong profile 🙂

Not interested in this feature? 🙂

Great idea! I made a thread for this idea previously so I’ll close this one.
