Mac

Control the priority of your audio devices to keep your best microphone in charge. When you connect your AirPods to a MacBook, they automatically switch the system’s default input to their internal microphone. Not only is the mic quality poor, but this behaviour also reduces the overall audio quality of the AirPods. SoundAnchor is a lightweight app that lives in your Mac’s toolbar that gives you full control over audio device priorities. You can reorder your input / output devices based on your preference and the topmost available device will be always forced as system default. The Mixer tab gives each app its own volume control, from 0% to 200%, and lets you send it to an output of your choice. Turn down music while keeping a call clear, or send different apps to speakers and headphones. SoundAnchor remembers your app volume and output choices. Mixer requires macOS 14.4 or later and permission to access system audio. Audio is processed locally on your Mac, without recording or uploading it. Input and Output remain available on macOS 12 or later.
