The delete option is added in the latest release. You can try v1.2.13.0 or 1.2.14.0.
I saw that option but once I deleted a few that had the delete option, a bunch.more existed that could not be deleted.
In my screenshot above these outputs did not show the delete option so it’s not working for my system
If a Bluetooth audio device is disconnected instead of removed from settings, then it is not permanently removed from the system, so delete option will not be enabled for it.
The delete option is enabled for removed or disabled audio devices.
You can disable the audio devices you never use through Windows Sound settings or Device Manager, but I’d avoid disabling anything until you’re sure what it does. Some devices are tied to HDMI audio, Bluetooth, or monitor speakers. Disabling only the unused ones should keep things cleaner without breaking audio unexpectedly.

I agree, having a way to hide or disable unused audio devices would make things much cleaner. You can try disabling devices you don’t use in Windows Sound settings or Device Manager, but be careful not to disable anything your apps or drivers rely on. It would be great if FXSound could let users hide unwanted devices directly in the app.
