Feature proposal

The app already has a notification area icon on Windows for audio status. It would be great to add a quick audio output device switch menu:

  • Left-click or right-click the icon to show a dropdown list of available playback devices (mouse wheel is a better way)
  • Highlight the currently active output device in the menu
  • Click an item to switch the default audio output device directly

Use case

I frequently switch between headphones, speakers and monitor audio outputs. Currently I have to open the Windows system volume panel with multiple clicks to change the audio device. Adding this feature inside the existing tray icon would save me from installing a separate audio switcher utility.

Optional ideas

  • Switching system default playback device is sufficient. App-specific audio routing can be considered as an alternative if easier to implement.
  • Add a toggle in settings to enable/disable this device menu.
