Bug 1.2.9 If I have full disabled - it can be selected in the taskbar

1- I turn off FxSound by right-clicking on the icon on the taskbar

2- On the taskbar, I click on the standard Speaker icon. And FxSound is on the list.

And it can be selected even though it is turned off. There will be no sound because of this.

FxSound should not be displayed or selected because it is completely off. This confuses the user.

To me, even after turning off the fxsound using the right click option in the taskbar, the fxsound is there in the list but cannot select it. Even if I click to select, it goes back to the default output set by Windows.

which Windows?

my 10

  1. FxSound application is running and you turn it off through
    image
    or by selecting “Turn off” in the system tray icon context menu
  2. Audio control is given to OS and you can select any speaker.
  3. If you select “FxSound Speakers” in this mode, FxSound application will select the default speaker.

But, if you exit FxSound application, and select “FxSound Speakers” in system tray, then there is no software running in order to select the default speaker. The audio output will go to FxSound Speakers which is a virtual device and you will not hear the audio.
FxSound Speaker is a system component, it cannot be removed or disabled when the application exits.

girl that is the fxsound driver, it is not a device it’s a virtual sound driver like you see people have Realtek speaker[1], just treat it like a normal headphone, you can go into sound setting and disallow it (it is “disable” when you right click the output device, in the old sound panel). TDLR, imagine if you have 2 headphones connected and one[2] has been set as always preferred (allow), you can’t hear the sound on your 2nd headphone? just diable the first. :head_shaking_vertically:
