Is there a way, in build 22.0.21, to configure things so that I can both easily toggle between headphones and default (speaker) mode?    This would require altering the audio input as well as DSP studio options.

I think most sound cards let you set the different speaker outputs up as a separate devices. If yours is one of them, I'd set the headphone jack up as a separate device, then create a zone and route it to that.

I would do that, but the headphones I have came with a USB input.  Of course, the same issue would be there with bluetooth headphones as well.

Zones should be able to do that.  The wiki has a topic on Zones.

That would would, except that headphones are not typically always plugged in.  That means that the zone will stop seeing them as a viable option if they are not plugged in then plugged in again.  They are no longer listed in that case.

If you plug and unplug, it shouldn't matter.  Did you try it?

You would have to switch to that zone and probably stop and restart playback.

Yeah, I've tried it.  My bluetooth headphones for instance, are not selected by default in a zone where once they were.

Feature Request: Zones remember audio output device if unplugged then plugged back in.

Isn't that the case already, I have 2 zones setup Audio & video connected to individual devices and a zone switch based on media type

If I power down the video device and some hours, days later switch it on again the zones "restore" and the zone switch works normally

Not for me, I actually started a thread on the same problem earlier today. Maybe if you don't try to play anything in the meantime or something, but I have problems with zones not restoring when audio devices are changed or unplugged.
