MicKeeper

When AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones connect to a Mac, macOS makes them the microphone too. As soon as an app uses that microphone (a call, a Meet tab, dictation), the headphones switch to call mode and everything you hear turns mono and muffled.

What is MicKeeper?

When AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones connect to a Mac, macOS makes them the microphone too. As soon as an app uses that microphone (a call, a Meet tab, dictation), the headphones switch to call mode and everything you hear turns mono and muffled. With an iPhone nearby, macOS may switch to its microphone instead. And apps like Zoom, Teams and Chrome change your microphone level on their own. MicKeeper switches the microphone back and, if you want, puts the level back too. . You can also pick one microphone in the list, and MicKeeper uses it whenever it is connected. That is also how to use AirPods or an iPhone as the microphone on purpose.
