Audio Profile Manager 4+

We were having a ton of problems with apps like Zoom, where it would keep switching between sound devices like tvs, projectors, external monitors, etc. We had tried a lot of different apps and tools and none worked well. Once we instakled this app, all problems stopped.

What is even better is that it is reallh simple. For users that are not technical, this is a great tool. There are not a lot of settings to worry about. You set your devices and go.

The downside is that it does not play well with outer apps, like Sound Control. However that apps could not do the main feature this one could.

My only complaint, and it is minor, is the toolbar icon looks weird. It puts 2 images and the look off compared to each other.

I've been using a big screen TV as a 2nd display and was getting annoyed at my audio switching to it whenever I extended my display. Audio Profile Manager to the rescue!

It took me a few minutes to realize (1) it quietly installs into the menu bar so it's easy to think it didn't work the first time you run it and (2) you lock in your setting using the menu bar to select the devices you want locked _after_ you have your devices connected. This needs to be repeated for any combination of devices, but once done for any given combination, it is remembered from then on.

I had a small problem with Big Sur when I first installed it, emailed the developer, and the problem was fixed. Very kind & responsive developer. So, 5 stars both for the app AND for its author(s)!

My laptop is used in a variety of situations; but one thing used to be constant... Whenever a call came in, or I needed to jump on a video conference, I'd always have to check my audio settings. This app has solved all of it! No more wondering if my bluetooth earbuds will jump in when I've got my USB mic plugged in. I can airplay my screen to a nearby monitor and continue listening to the call without the TV taking over the audio. I love this app!
