I noticed that once I connected my new BT headset to my PC it didn’t sound right. It was the FxSound preset I was using (for my speakers). So I had to manually change it.  
But once my BT headset is off, I have to manually change it back to match my speakers again.

I assumed FxSound would remember presets per-device, but I guess not. I think this is a pretty basic (and easily implemented) functionality that FxSound should have.

Would appreciate it if it could be implemented in an upcoming release. Thank you!

Good afternoon James,  
This is a popular request, see:

> [@Option to Set Default Playback Devices and Presets That Automatically Switch When Using Selected Apps](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/option-to-set-default-playback-devices-and-presets-that-automatically-switch-when-using-selected-apps/28):
>
> 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.

What I’m suggesting is something far simpler (and thus very easy to implement), which is just to have saved presets per _device_. One for speakers, one for headphones etc.

Having the app switch presets per application is something far more complex, and wouldn’t surprise me if would take a long time (if at all) to be implemented.

Angry upvote on this - have multiple output devices and i’d like to have settings page with preset per device selection.
