The switcher is designed to automatically detect active audio signals. When an audio device connected to one of the input channels becomes active (e.g., starts playing audio), the switcher will automatically switch to that channel. If the current active channel becomes inactive (e.g., muted or powered off), the switcher will scan for other active channels and switch accordingly.
