If you alt(opt)+click the sound icon in the menu bar you can easily select your inputs and outputs. I really just want airpods with a mic and no audio quality hit so I can use it in simracing so I don't have to have an external mic arm.
It switches back on a whim for the most arbitrary things, though. In Windows the same can happen but I can at least temporarily disable an input if it is doing that.
Doing some things like disabling an input/output device, or an internal keyboard, or a webcam. Almost impossible. Even if there are some ways, they change so often. Let's say you have two cameras and an application that always picks the internal one. I couldn't find a way to disable the internal camera so that this app would pick the only available one.
Especially since OSX is terrible at input/output preferences.
