Is there software that would let me automatically switch between microphones on my computer when I put on my headset?
I imagine this might work as a piece of software that integrates all microphones connected to my computer into a single input device, then transmits the audio stream from the best-quality source.
A partial solution would be something that automatically switches to the headset microphone when I switch to the headset speakers.
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.
