  • Homebrew Package For Setting Specified Audio Input Device - Blake Watson

    0001-01-01

    I had an annoying situation where, when my AirPods connected to my Mac, they would take over as the active input device (ie, microphone). I didn’t want that because I already have a nice microphone setup. So I set out to find a way to prevent that...
