> The idea here being that if you could say set your Playback device to headphones and preset to Music when running Spotify for example. And as you started playing music on Spotify FxSound would automatically swap the playback device and preset to match what you’ve set for the Spotify app.

> So far, upwards of 13 forum users have voiced similar and/or concurrent requests.
> It's worth noting that there will be known conflicts between such an "Auto-Switch" option and the already-existing "Automatically switch to newly connected output device" option located under the General tab of the Settings menu, as well as with the future addition of a "Preferred/Priority Device" option, another extremely popular feature request launched by @NullDev:
