Sometimes I lose a device in FX, although it is connected. Can we have an option where FX rescans for connected devices

Considering the amount of issues we’ve had with detections, I can agree this is a good idea.  
It would be great if we could find an optimal way to integrate it as a feature, which would be at once practical, simple, easy, quick, and efficient.

FxSound checks for device connection changes through a timer logic. I will check if this can fail to detect devices and add the device scan option if required.
