Description

Running dms ipc call audio cycleoutput doesn't cycle output devices in a loop. It was able to switch the output once and all subsequent runs lead to the same output being selected

Expected Behavior

Running dms ipc call audio cycleoutput should change to different output every time. Also I think it would be a good idea for the cycleoutput command to not cycle to hidden output devices.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run Running dms ipc call audio cycleoutput` in terminal
2. Observe the responses
