- apex / user
- Analysis Summary
- Shows a small, non-blocking suggestion panel when Discord detects a new microphone or speaker.
- Why It Matters
- People who connect a headset or microphone can switch call devices without opening the full settings screen.
- The panel is less disruptive than a blocking dialog, but actual exposure still depends on the assignment state.
- Detailed Description
- The default path does not display the new device-detected panel.
- In the treatment, Discord briefly shows the detected input, output, or combined device and asks whether to switch.
- Certified devices use vendor and model names, and the user can switch immediately or ignore that device from the more-actions menu.
- Both an addition and a deletion row appear in this window; the deletion row alone does not establish rollout or rollback.
