Bluetooth Issue #2156

Closed MZik closed 7 years ago

MZik commented 7 years ago

I have a bluetooth adapter plugged into USB, and I turn on my Powerbeats 3 midday - but for some reason the hotkey disapears after I assign it (I assume since the device wasn't recognized when the program booted?)

Then to re-assign hotkey, I have to clear all.

So in the end, it takes the hotkey functionality away from it due to this error, and I have to clear / reassign all everytime. Love to hear your thoughts!

Have a look at this issue: https://github.com/xenolightning/AudioSwitcher_v1/issues/2123

There's a limitation within Windows; when reconnecting devices it thinks it's a new device every time, and gives it a new identifier, which then invalidates the hotkey.

Clearing all is sadly the only workaround for this, without somehow matching on device name.

There's not a lot that can be done sadly :/
