Description

Description

I often switch around from my Headphones and TV audio, so I was wondering if it was possible to save the volume dB gain per audio output, or maybe just a "load settings" that automatically switches output + the audio gain. Maybe I am one of few that does that often idk. But kinda like how when we switch Windows audio devices, it saves the volume setting. If I switch to my TV, I might have a gain of -10, whereas on my Headphones its a gain of -21. It's a very big difference and would be very convenient for people like me. Thanks for any help
