❓ FAQ

Quick answers to the most common questions.

---

🛡️ Do I need admin rights?

No. Normal operation should not require admin rights.

🔌 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 queries the device battery state in G HUB (GET /battery/<deviceId>/state):

• Powered on → returns a payload
• Powered off → doesn't

⏱️ Why is there a delay when powering them off?

Two consecutive empty responses are required (~3 seconds) before switching to the alternative output, to avoid flapping on a one-off G HUB response.

🎧 Does it work with other Logitech headsets?

Not guaranteed. The battery pattern was verified on the PRO X 2 on 2026-08-07. The installer auto-matches devices whose name contains "PRO X 2".

🔀 Can I configure more than one alternative output?

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

🔄 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.
