Yes, I understand that, certainly.  
A user posted a question about [Volume²](https://github.com/irzyxa/Volume2) recently, and mentioned it allows device switching through keyboard shortcuts, which works in conjunction with FxSound as long as FxSound’s auto-switch setting (in the General tab of the Settings menu) remains deactivated.
