Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayCover/issues/35

PlayCover is changing default audio output on start. I have experienced this on a Mac Studio with a particular monitor.

Could anyone confirm if this happens on a MacBook with wireless headphones? The issue might not present itself in that case, since it might be triggered because the monitor I am using keeps asking to have the audio output. Normally, apps like Discord would open a prompt asking me if I would like to change the audio source; instead of switching on one go.

macOS version 12.4
This issue is present on PlayCover 1.0.6 and pre-release 1.0.7. It is not presenting itself on 1.0.0, so it is a regression.

Couldn't repro with a MacBookPro18,2.

Connected a Bluetooth audio device
Quit PlayCover and any playcover'ed apps
Open PlayCover and run anything
