[BUG] Continuous disconnect from AirPods 3 being used as primary microphone while Macbook Pro is connected to monitor (closed lid) and monitor doesn't have microphone.

[EduardoLLGZZ]

Describe the bug

Continuous disconnect from AirPods 3 being used as primary microphone while Macbook Pro is connected to monitor (closed lid) and monitor doesn't have microphone.

Reproduction steps

1. Open FluidVoice
2. Settings
3. Select primary microphone as AirPods 3
4. Trying to speak but message appears saying it's no longer available as a microphone (while AirPods are still connected to MBP).

Expected behavior

Observed the connection to the AirPods, and detect them as the primary microphone. It actually tries to connect to my iPhone's microphone via Continutiy.

Actual behavior

Crashes out, doesn't allow me to speak.

go into the settings and

and change this to your liking - priority decides which mic is used!

Already did that! For some weird reason it keeps ignoring it. Example: I deleted now multiple times my iPhone's Air Microphone, since I hate continuity. Therefore the only two remaining options are: my AirPods and the MBP's microphone (which won't work since its closed on a dock connected to a monitor), and it keeps on adding it by itself and overwriting my selection of prioritizing my AirPods as the main microphone.

I think adding it back is a macOS problem.

Do not remove it and try this

Put airpods above everything and DO NOT remove the extra ones. lmk how it goes. I tried and it doesnt jump for me - so I am hoping this works for you too,

Did that, and still I keep getting the same error. Also managed to capture a screenshot of the alert that comes up before everything stops working. I checked my settings and I have it like that, however it keeps disconnecting them for some reason (while they're still connected to the MBP).

oh wow, thanks for that. Let me look into it now.

I am trying it out on my airpods too - I am not able to reproduce this. any tips on reproducing it? your workflow in general ?

[altic-dev]

if you can give me your fluid.log from the settings -> scroll to the end and get it for me. That should have some info.

I just tried to use my airpods for like 30 mins and never got any DC unfortunately.

Same here too, it seems like it only happens in Activation Mode: Automatic (Both).

Great App

Here you go my friend, sorry I just got notice of your reply. Bug still remains. In regards to my workflow: it's pretty normal: i put on my airpods, connect them to my MBP (or they auto-connect), open the App (if not opened yet), try to speak, pop-up comes up saying it's switching between iPhone's Microphone in continuity and Airpods, i go into settings, drag the AirPods to the top, and try to use them. it works for the first try, and afterwards the pop-up I attached yesterday comes up and disconnects them.

Also, while we're here: new feature that would rock my world: making it learn from corrections done after the typing is inserted into the text box, like Wispr Flow. That feature come's in really handy, since I'm a lawyer and sometimes it gets some words in spanish wrong, and it would be ideal for it to learn after the correction I've made.

[altic-dev]

The feature is there and would activate when you make the same mistake twice!

[altic-dev]

BUt I will improve it to be hit on first time probably - might be useful

[altic-dev]

@EduardoLLGZZ - would you be down to give a binary a try to see if it fixes your issue?

@adagostino81 you as well :) Lmk!
