Got a dock? Maybe an external microphone and speakers? You no longer have to change audio settings each time you plug in or dock in. Serious quality of life improvement.
AirPods are great, but if you have a recent MacBook, it means you probably have studio-quality microphones at your disposal (recent MacBook microphones are THAT good), or you might connect an external one, which you would prefer over any microphone on earphones or headphones. It's just physics.
Use CrystalClear audio to effortlessly and automatically switch to the internal Mac microphones or the external microphones you connect to achieve the best possible sound quality when you speak. Now you can even set the mic volume from the menu bar menu.
Even if you're not using the mic, connecting wireless headphones or earphones with microphones can degrade your listening experience by activating the microphone, such as when you're trying to Shazam that amazing song.
Since recently, Shazam is built into macOS, and you can access it from the menubar to find songs, even with your AirPods on. It's fantastic; you should use it all the time.
Give it a try: put on your AirPods, play a song on your Mac, and then try to Shazam from the Mac menu bar. What did you notice? At least on macOS versions older than Tahoe, the sound was lost for a moment and then came back at much lower quality, right? This is because the Bluetooth mic on your headset was activated. The same will happen with any app which uses the microphone on any version of macOS.
CrystalClear Sound is solving this by automatically picking the internal microphone and prevents this unnecessary activation and if you need to use the bluetooth mic you can quickly switch microphones by changing the mode.
Big new feature:
Now, custom modes. With custom modes, you can configure Crystal Clear Sound Switcher to automatically switch to the correct input and output devices so you don't have to deal with configuring your sound settings each time you connect a dock or an external microphone! This is particularly useful if you are using a dock with your Mac. You can create a preset that automatically activates when the dock and the devices are connected, which will save you from setting the preferred input and output devices each time you dock and undock.
CrystalClear Sound requires a paid subscription(a rather cheap one), which supports the development of the app.
It comes with a 1-month FREE trial period. Give it a try, keep it if you like it or cancel any time.
