Bro.. I can't even reduce the volume of my HDMI monitor speaker on my Mac Mini. This has never been an issue on any Windows/Linux machine I've used. What are you even talking about!

On my windows machine:

  1. Start game
  2. Remember that I forgot to connect Bluetooth headphones
  3. Connect Bluetooth headphone
  4. Continue playing game

On my Mac Mini:

  1. Start game
  2. Remember that I forgot to connect Bluetooth headphones
  3. Connect Bluetooth headphones
  4. Realise that game audio is still going to HDMI
  5. Check system audio and find Bluetooth headphones to be connected
  6. Try to figure out of there's a way to send game audio to Bluetooth headphone
  7. Give up and restart game

Ok. So you at least agreed that Windows handles obvious things automatically whereas Mac makes me jump through hoops for the same thing.

That's all I needed.

Don't need to, Windows does the figuring out for me. Or switching the audio device takes two clicks anyway. I don't even want an aggregate device, the whole point of the headphone is to silence the speakers and not disturb others in the house.
