Route audio on Mac differently based on location (or a switch)
November 5, 2019 10:30 AM Subscribe
I'm producing music, so at home I have a USB-connected audio interface through which I route all of my audio. When I have my laptop on the road, I need my audio switched around so that it comes out of the built-in speakers. I'm tired of having to go into sound options and switch this back and forth every time I plug in. Is there a software / MacOS built-in solution to either be able to detect when the audio interface has been plugged in and switch, or to create a hotkey or something to switch between audio configurations?
Hmmm, maybe check Rogue Amoeba's software: Airfoil and/or SoundSource?

Check out ControlPlane. This can apply numerous changes to your configuration based on your current "context", and context can be determined by a bunch of different cues, such as what network you're on, what devices are attached, etc.
