how do i manually select audio input and audio output on the ipad?

I want to use my Bluetooth earphones as audio output and my internal microphone asked the audio input for my iPad. But I don’t seem to have an option to manually select these. I read this from a forum before that they’ve already solved this issue, but I don’t understand what they’re referring to.

To manually select audio input and output on your iPad, you'll primarily use the Control Center and the audio settings within specific apps. For audio output, you can easily switch between connected devices (like Bluetooth headphones or speakers) using the Control Center. For input, you'll usually select the desired microphone within the app you're using for recording or communication.
