Problem: When disconnecting my headphones (a Runmus on Windows 10), the output text correctly switches to Speaker for both Win7Audio and AudioLevel measures, however when I connect them again, only the Win7Audio measure reacts properly and outputs the headphone device, with the AudioLevel one not updating its output (or its RMS and band values, for that matter) to the new circumstances:
AudioLevel vs Win7Audio Default Device.jpg
Just in case anyone is wondering, I have no odd executable or driver crapware running at startup, it's just the well known Realtek HD Audio driver that's installed on my system. I already use non-exclusive mode for all audio devices, too.

Solution: Basically, the solution would be to manually refresh the skin to have both measures yielding the correct result, but that sort of defeats their purpose in the first place. I could set up an IfMatch to (try to, as I didn't do that yet) update the AudioLevel parent measure as soon as its device name measure is sensibly different than what Win7Audio measure's string value is, but this is a bit problematic as they don't match exactly and even if I set up an A "like" B system I'm not entirely sure it will work for all cases (maybe for some the difference is more than some bracket enclosed string suffix). Plus, the latter won't work if you don't have a Win7Audio measure in the skin anyway.

Any thoughts on this? Bug or not bug, that is the question (I mean, Windows properly changes the default device on both connecting and disconnecting the headphones, as you can see from the screenshot)... :???:
