About:
SoundAnchor is a macOS utility that allows users to create persistent aliases for audio input and output devices. It solves the problem of macOS resetting audio device selections when devices are disconnected or the system reboots. The tool ensures your preferred microphone and speaker configurations are automatically maintained.
Key Features:
  • Create persistent aliases for audio devices
  • Automatic device selection on connection
  • Simple menu bar interface
  • Supports all standard Core Audio devices
Use Cases:
  • Maintaining consistent audio settings for streaming or recording setups
  • Automatically switching to specific headphones when they connect
Alternatives:
  • AudioSwitch – Commercial alternative with more features but costs money
  • BackgroundMusic – Open source but focuses on audio routing rather than persistent aliases
