I've been working on a project that requires a lot of audio editing, and I'm constantly switching between headphones and my macbook's speakers depending on the time of day, the amount of ambient noise in my apartment, etc. as well as occasionally using Soundflower to record my computer's internal audio. A constant minor annoyance that I run into is that the Adobe products and Audacity do not automatically switch to headphones as the current audio hardware if I have my headphones plugged in, and don't automatically switch to my speakers when I pull them out. If I plug my headphones into my computer then go to, say, Premiere and start playing a track, it will come out through my speakers if the last time I used the program I didn't have the headphones plugged in. Having to go two-menus deep into Preferences to change the audio hardware every single time is incredibly annoying, especially since every other program on my computer seems to recognize that having my headphones plugged in means that I want to hear the audio through them. VLC, browser, music players, etc. all respect the audio hardware and never require manual switching, and the System Preferences always have the correct thing selected in "Output." Premiere has "Default Input" and "Default Output" as dropdowns but I can't select "System Default" or whatever as an option. I don't think Soundflower has anything to do with it as it never seems to be a part of the issue, and doing a bit of Googling seems to confirm that as I see other people complaining about the same issue and they don't mention that relatively obscure program, but perhaps worth mentioning that I use that occasionally. In short: is there any way to get Premiere, Audacity, and other similar programs to automatically switch their outputs to the current system defaults that I see in my system preferences? e: hosed up the subject line by waffling back and forth between saying "Audio editing" or "Editing"
