Extra (Developer) Information:
Since FFXIV is utilizing XAudio 2.7 its clear IXAudio2EngineCallback::OnCriticalError method is not being utilized to reinitialize audio objects.

from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...(v=vs.85).aspx

Quote:

---

OnCriticalError is raised if the underlying WASAPI rendering device becomes unavailable. This can occur when a headset or speaker is unplugged or when a USB audio device is removed, for example. Once a critical error has occurred, audio processing stops and all further calls to XAudio2 fail. The only way to recover in this situation is to release the XAudio2 instance and create a new one.

---

WM_DEVICECHANGE through he window procedure also needs to be captured to detect when a user switches the default audio device.
