Having an issue with sound output- I select the iMac to use HomePod pair as sound, but constantly have to redo the setting- Pause what you're listening to (music, podcasts, etc), and it defaults back to the computer audio.
Found a post somewhere saying to hold OPTION when you click the speaker pair, no luck.
On a 2019 21.5 iMac, Big Sur 11.3.1.
iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.3
Tried to find where to do that- the little gear has that option grayed out- I think I'm missing something.

Are you in the application?
Post the picture in the forum, following this guide to show us what you are looking at:
Ok got it. Looks like it's set at the 44. and 16 bit.
Oddly enough, I noticed now that the default (internal), is set at 24 bit. Think that might be part of this?
Audio Midi Setup utility.
Whenever you run an update or upgrade, sometimes these settings go too high. 16 bit stereo 44.1 kHz are best.
Thanks for the response- though I don't see where to change the stereo setting- Can you tell me what I'm missing?
I didn't know about this utility- Sorry, I misinterpreted your reply! Will go do this now and report back....
Yes.
You need to change the default internal on Built-in Output.
If I could figure out how to change the internal speakers to 16, sounds like you're saying that might do it. But... I can't for the life of me figure out where/how to do this.
