Description

AudioSwitcher is a menu bar that allows you to switch quickly between all available input and output devices.  In addition you can change the volume and other properties of each device without having to change your current input / output.

You can quickly change the sample rate or output to multiple devices at the same time.

AudioSwitcher supports any device directly attached to the host system: USB, DisplayPort, HDMI, Thunderbolt and Bluetooth.

It does not support AirPlay or AirPlay 2 devices.

AudioSwitcher is ideal if you have multiple sound devices attached to your Mac and want to be able to switch between them without having to use System Preferences.

Things to be aware of:

- If you have headphones physically plugged in then your internal speakers are disabled for some Apple hardware.
- Apple no longer allows 3rd party apps to see or view AirPlay devices

Very useful, with a few nitpicks

The audio switcher is extremely useful when you have multiple inputs and/or outputs. It can even set its default startup devices. One thing that makes this a little less strightforward is how the pop up menu doesn’t close even when it’s not in focus, and I have to go click on the smallish menu icon just to close it. That really is unintuitive, unexpected, and almost doubles the time required to switcht he audio itself. There’s no option to change this in the settings either. Please fix. Thank you.

Couldn't figure out the keyboard shortcut interface

I bought this app because I was hoping to set keyboard shortcuts for each output device. There's a keyboard shortcut section in the settings screen but I can't figure out how it's supposed to work.

Being able to set a startup device and a default volume for each device is useful, though.

Worked for my ATV1 with XBMC

I have an old, original AppleTV running XBMC hooked up to a small stereo in the center of the house which I use to stream music to from my iPhone with no problems. However, I haven’t been able to connect my iMac to this ATV until I downloaded this app. It was listed as an AppleTV device and I was able to immediately connect to it. Glad to be able to use my iMac as the streaming device instead of draining my phone battery now.

I would like to see Bluetooth discovery added if possible. I have an iHome BT52 hooked up to another set of speakers on another floor that the iMac can’t seem to see either, but the phone has no issues. Hopefully this app will be able to do the same in the future.
