What is Audio Profile Manager?
Audio Profile Manager is a simple menu bar utility for macOS that helps you manage your audio devices. Set your preferred speakers and microphone, and they stay selected — even when you connect new devices.
How do I set my preferred audio devices?
Click the Audio Profile Manager icon in your menu bar, then use the 'Preferred Devices' dropdowns at the bottom to select your preferred Output and Input devices. Your Mac will remember these preferences.
Why does macOS keep switching my audio devices?
macOS automatically switches audio devices when you connect new hardware like monitors with speakers, Bluetooth headphones, or USB audio interfaces. Audio Profile Manager helps prevent this by maintaining your preferred device selections.
How do I switch between audio devices quickly?
Click the Audio Profile Manager icon in your menu bar to see all available output and input devices. Click on any device to switch to it instantly — no need to dig through System Settings.
Can the app start automatically when I log in?
Yes! Enable 'Open at Startup' in the app's menu to have Audio Profile Manager launch automatically when you log into your Mac.
Does Audio Profile Manager work with Bluetooth devices?
Yes, the app works with all audio devices recognized by macOS, including Bluetooth headphones, speakers, AirPods, USB audio interfaces, and built-in speakers/microphones.
Does the app collect my data?
No. Audio Profile Manager is completely private — it doesn't collect any personal information, doesn't require an account, and doesn't include analytics or ads. Your preferences are stored locally on your device only.
What macOS version is required?
Audio Profile Manager requires macOS 15.6 (Sequoia) or later.
