I have a problem where the build inn speakers of my 27" LG Ultrafine display take over the audio when using or screen sharing via Messages / Facetime.
No matter what I try the Build inn speakers take president over whatever input I select. Even using the headphone jack on my 15" MB Air doesn’t work. The speakers and microphone of the external display take over.
In macOS 14.5 Sonoma I cannot remove or block this connection or change the priority by dragging the preferred audio in-output to the top of the list.
@aardy SoundSource is amazing no question, and it allows per application defaults and many other features.
One consideration might be cost:
SoundSource. US$ 43.00 (from Rogue Amoeba)
AudioWrangler US$ 2.00 (from Apple Mac App Store)
PS - I love Rogue Amoeba products, and if you need the extra features SoundSource would get my vote, but for just routing audio away from your monitor, can’t go past $2.00.
Got it, unfortunately when I do a screen share using Messages on the external display I am unable to get my headset or even the internal speakers of my 15" MB Air to work
Is there a command line that I can use to disable the speakers from this display?
