Switch TV Audio Output

Hi everyone,

Here is my use case...

I have a Samsung TV with a Roku (HDMI1), AppleTV (HDMI2), and FireTV (HDMI4) connected. I also have a WiiM Amp Pro connected to HDMI3/ARC. When I'm not using my headphones, I want the audio coming through the TV speakers. When I'm using the headphones, I want audio output to HDMI/ARC as my Bluetooth headphone run off the WiiM Amp Pro.

I've got Activities defined that switch the audio output successfully. Regardless of what streaming device I'm on, the activity calls up the Samsung TV menu, arrows left, down, down, right, right and then hits OK twice to switch to HDMI/ARC output and once to switch to TV Speakers and the exits the TV menu. This works. I'm back at the streaming device screen with the right audio output sselected,

However, I am no longer able to control the streaming device. The remote keys are still controlling the Samsung TV menu. And there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the remote to switch those keys back to the streaming device when the activity is done. It looks like maybe I can tell it to go back to device 1 or 2 or 3, but not back to the last device it was on.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.
