❓ FAQ

Quick answers to the most common questions.

---

🛡️ Do I need admin rights?

No. Normal operation should not require admin rights. Only toggling Audio Enhancements asks for a one-time UAC elevation.

🔌 Can I leave the dongle plugged in?

Yes. The LIGHTSPEED dongle can stay plugged in. The signal is based on the physical headset state, not the USB connection.

🧠 How does AutoSwitch know the headset is on?

It depends on the DetectionMode chosen at install:

• WindowsEndpoint (universal) — reads the headset's endpoint State in Windows (Active when on, Unplugged/absent when off). No vendor software needed.
• LogitechGHub (PRO X 2) — queries the device battery state in G HUB (GET /battery/<deviceId>/state): on → returns a payload, off → doesn't.

🎧 Does it work with any wireless headset?

It works with any headset whose connection state Windows exposes (e.g. Jabra Evolve 65, verified Active ↔ Unplugged). For headsets Windows cannot see physically (like the PRO X 2), a device-specific provider is needed (G HUB today).

⏱️ Why is there a delay when powering them off?

Two consecutive OFF readings are required (~3 seconds) before switching to the alternative output, to avoid flapping on a one-off reading.

🔀 Can I configure more than one alternative output?

No. The installer captures exactly two outputs: headset and alternative.

🖥️ What can I do from the tray?

See info lines (Headset / Fallback / Next switch), pause/resume AutoSwitch (AutoSwitch: Enabled/Disabled), reconfigure the headset/fallback without reinstalling, disable/enable the headset's Audio Enhancements (UAC), and Exit.

🔄 If a G HUB update breaks it, what do I do?

The WebSocket API is unofficial and Logitech can change it. Check AGENT.md in the repo to rebuild the mechanism and open an issue.

📦 Where is the log?

At %LOCALAPPDATA%\PROX2AutoSwitch\autoswitch.log.

🔁 Can I reinstall over an existing installation?

Yes. The installer stops the previous instance, re-captures the current Item IDs and replaces the configuration. It also skips re-downloading svcl.exe if it is already installed.
