Unable to Switch Speakers #529

Yesterday this was working just fine...
Yesterday, turning on the Bluetooth speaker would activate it and turn off the desktop speakers. Today, turning the Bluetooth speaker on or off has no effect on which speakers are used. The desktop speakers are always used regardless of Bluetooth speaker on / off setting and regardless of what is selected using the SoundSwitch speaker switch.

Windows 10.0.19042
SoundSwitch 5.6.1.38743

Sound:

The Bluetooth speaker shows up as SoundTorch:
blue

Sound with Bluetooth speaker on:
sound with blue on

Sound: Recording

SoundSwitch Settings with the Bluetooth speaker off:
settings blue off

SoundSwitch Settings with Bluetooth speaker on:
settings blue on

Double clicking on the SoundSwitch tray icon puts up a banner indicating that the playback device IS changing between: Speakers (Realtek (r) audio) and Bluetooth speaker (Soundtorch hand-free AG audio.) But, the sound continues to come from the desktop speakers.

Alternate Single click SoundSwitch Menu:

The sound is still coming out of the desktop speakers.

Thanks!

Windows just updated my system. I made no other changes.
The switching between the Bluetooth speaker and the desktop speakers is working as desired.
I made no other changes.
I wish I could save the current configuration!
I know it will break again some time in the future.
For now, it works.

Sorry to come so late.

Bluetooth is always a weird beast for sound in Windows (and any OS in general)...

Happy to hear it works for now.
