I maintain a fork of this app, which allows you to quickly set and lock your audio input device, so that they don't switch your audio input device to bluetooth as soon as you turn them on. Mostly because of the first gen of these headphones. They LOVED to keep the mic on at all times with no way to disable that behavior.

I assume it's the same with the second gen.

It is such an annoying behavior; I came up with my own solution too for those interested:

Oh I wish I knew about this before buying SoundSource. SoundSource is a decent app when it works but it causes my mic audio goes in an out with it and people complain.

So is this like https://apps.kopiro.me/soundanchor/ ?

Oh my god, where has this been. Is there any way you can make it work for 14.4? I desperately need this.

I was _just_ looking for a utility that did this! Thanks for sharing.
