When I turn off my bluetooth headphones osx switches my speaker to my microphone. Is there some hidden menu to disable this as an output device?


You might try the Audio MIDI Setup utility. This allows you to add/remove devices which might work to remove the microphone as an output device.

If you're looking for a fix and more advanced customization you could try Soundsource: https://rogueamoeba.com/soundsource/


I'm not sure about speakers becoming microphones, but you can quickly select input and output devices by option+clicking the volume icon in the menu bar.
