can you let the tech team know that I'm not particularly talking about the G6 auto switching between headphone and speaker? That options has been around even with the X7, and it works well enough. I'm specifically talking about the Apply Headphone Virtualization settings, under setup. I'll attach an image.
That setting has no reason to revert. So if I set it to line out/optical, I want it to remain on line out/optical from then on. Well, right now, it keeps reverting to one or the other. I don't know what causes the setting to stick to a particular one, but it's not consistent. So I basically have to change that setting EVERY TIME I turn the PC/G6 on. Now, I have done most of my testing on PC, but I can imagine if someone is mainly a console gamer and wants a specific setting only to find that it keeps reverting to the other, and they aren't getting headphone virtualization where they want it, this can be incredibly frustrating.
Say if my PS4 is in the living room, and I notice headphone virtualization isn't being applied to the line out/optical which I would send the signal to my own external dac/amp. I'll have to go back to my bedroom with the G6, turn on the PC, go to the G6 software, change the setting, and then go put the G6 back next to my console setup in the living room. Every single day. And there are even users that don't even have PCs, so their chances to change the settings are even more limited.
I think it's a worse situation for people using the G6 simply to send headphone virtualization to the line out/optical for their own external gear. It will somehow default to Headphone, and they can't benefit from headphone virtualization for their gear until they go to the settings and change it daily.
This has no reason to auto switch unless it detects a headphone being connected to the G6, and as far as I can tell, this setting does NOT have an auto switch function.
