I used to be able to switch my output device in FxSound even when the app wasn’t enabled, but after the latest update I can’t seem to do that anymore? Enabled as in the on button on the app.

From version 1.2.6.0, when FxSound is off, the audio output device can be changed in system settings. We will look into letting the user to change the output device from FxSound also when FxSound is off.
