Since the recent update (v1.2.13.0), FxSound keeps automatically switching the output whenever the screen turns black after being idle for about a minute. The sound will not work until I have to switch the output device back manually. This didn’t happen until the recent update.

How do I fix this?

Can you please share the screenshot of FxSound settings from Settings \> Audio tab?
