Firstly. Regarding Administrators / Moderators. Do not interfere with this thread, especially since most of you never bother to read the questions properly or provide relavent solutions.


This thread should not have been closed. Smittychat. Did not bother to read the question properly and provided a completely irrelivant solution.

This thread should not have been closed. It is still a problem.


This has been an issue that many others have complained about: link, link, link, link, link. It's a problem because the way in which windows handles new audio enabled devices is a nuisance.


The issue: When a new device with audio input/output is found, windows changes the default devices around.

Why is this a problem: Because you do not give us the option to stop/block this functionality.

Who does it affect:

1) Anyone connecting with a controller featuring audio support

2) Anyone with different setups that use audio routing solutions like voicemeter banana to create virtual audio drivers. This will likely include most professional streamers, podcasters etc


Simple long term solution: @WindowsDevelopers:

DO NOT SUGGEST THAT I DISABLE AUDIO DEVICES. I'm aware that this can be done for known devices however it is not a solution. The problem is windows changing my setup automatically. I do not want this feature and I expect a solution that stops that automation. I expect full control over my setup.


For now though, I just want a solution that stops windows from automatically messing up my settings.


Final note. I have set the nature of this post to be a discussion. I still want an answer to my question and a relevant solution however I also want microsoft to do somthing about it & I think the best way to bring about change is to engage the community.


How many of you would find the above suggestion useful?
