Popup should show when changing devices
When activating Set Next Default Device using a keyboard shortcut, the OSD window should show as a visual confirmation of the change of the device. The device is changed, but the OSD currently doesn't pop up.
Note: Show OSD is set to "By time" in Options/OSD; changing the volume using a keyboard shortcut does make the OSD show.
I want to second that request. But for a slightly different cause.
I like to work without the OSD. I use the systray icon only. It shows a tooltip when the volume changes, that's very nice. But it doesn't show a tooltip while setting the next default device. A viable option is to use the one special trayicon which changes depending on the default device. But I would rather not use this one. So a popping-up tooltip for that scenario would be great.

Do you have enabled option System - Notifications - Volume? Not all OSD skins contain device name text, so it only shows the current volume. I am not sure it is required.

You're right, it was turned off. If I turn it on, there is a notification about the changed device. So consider this ticket half closed...
... however, this is somewhat different from the effect that I've described, in the following ways.
- It adds clutter: needlessly increases the number of notifications.
- It does not show the current volume beside the new device's name.
- The notification appears not within the OSD, but at a different corner of the screen.
- The notification is too verbose; I'd rather see just the new device's name (and the new volume).
Also what Windows version do you use?
Probably irrelevant, but the newest: 1903, fully updated.
I'd also like to request some kind of OSD notification when I change audio devices. Enabling System-Notification-Volume does make a Windows notification pop up on device change, but the Windows notification is slow and sometimes gets stuck when I'm cycling through multiple playback devices. If the OSD notification for volume change popped up when I changed devices that would be perfect, since the skin I use also indicates the current device.
