Hi, I recently started using FxSound and I love it. But the major flaw I found was that I can’t seem to set a default output device for FxSound’s processed audio, I normally have it on my headphones, but as soon as I connect a PS5 controller, or turn on and off my monitor, the output in the app switches to the “new” connected device. I’m not sure whether this is a Windows thing or if it can be set within the program. It really bugs me and I hope you find a way to solve this

Indeed it can!  
In FxSound’s interface,  
just click on the three bars in the bottom left corner,  
go to Settings \> General,  
and untick the box for automatic switching.

Wow! It must have been added recently or I might just be blind, this made my day! Thanks
