Depending on connection method for your headset, you might be able to just use a simple switch. Mine is USB, and https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00JX1ZS5O lets me just leave it disconnected when not in use. My Windows box uses the speakers when it’s disconnected (I don’t have a separate mic, but I expect it would work the same), and switches output and input to the headset when connected. I’ve seen similar switchers for 3.5mm audio connectors—I have no doubt they’d work for microphone instead of speaker, but I don’t know any that combine them.
Thanks. I tried a couple different switches on my setup (3.5mm through USB-C hub), and the computer didn’t disconnect upon opening the switch, so I’m giving up on this until I change hardware.
