Audio Device Blocker

Why?

Are you tired of your mac automatically switching to the microphone of your bluetooth headset?

I was, so I decided to create a small tray App to ban my bluetooth headset microphone from connecting automatically. Additionally, this works with any input or output audio device.

How does it work?

It runs in the notification tray and monitors when:

  • An audio device is plugged-in plugged-out
  • The main output/input device changes

When a blocklisted device is plugged-in and the system automatically switch to it:

  • Reverts back to the previously used device
  • Fallbacks to a list of devices with a defined order of preference
  • Notifies you when a device has been blocked

More informations

  • Runs on MacOS 11.0+ (Big Sur and ongoing)
  • The provided release runs on both Intel & ARM based Mac
  • I do not have a paid Apple Developer Membership so be ready to be warned that this software is from an "unidentified developer". See https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/mh40616/mac
