It switches back on a whim for the most arbitrary things, though. In Windows the same can happen but I can at least temporarily disable an input if it is doing that.
Doing some things like disabling an input/output device, or an internal keyboard, or a webcam. Almost impossible. Even if there are some ways, they change so often. Let's say you have two cameras and an application that always picks the internal one. I couldn't find a way to disable the internal camera so that this app would pick the only available one.
- MarcelOlsz 2y agoAh yeah you're right. Does the "Audio MIDI Setup" Mac utility app help you here at all?
- therein 2y agoIt gets close, but no way to truly pin it still. It effectively does the same thing that System Settings > Sound > Output & Input does but with a better UI making it clearer that you are making a change to the primary. But the change is still just as unpinned as it would be from the other location.
- aisamu 2y agoI "fixed" this with a Hammerspoon snippet that monitors input changes and reverts them: mic = hs.audiodevice.findInputByName("MacBook Pro Microphone") function handle_deselected(_, type) if (type == "gone") then if not mic:inUse() then mic:setDefaultInputDevice() end end end mic:watcherCallback(handle_deselected) mic:watcherStart()
