Hi Jane,
I use a $40 USB headset with a microphone to do my podcast on the Mac and it
seems that once I've made this change it automatically defaults to that when
I plug the headset in again but I could be mistaken. Don't forget to check
preferences in the actual program that you use them with. For example, I
find that when using Sound Studio that I need to make the change in Sound
Studio preferences and then again on the Mac. But, it seems that it stays
after that change and if I go unplug my headset and plug it in again later
it does this by default. Maybe it won't if you turn off the machine or have
it sleep; I don't know.
Good luck.
Cheers!

Subject: getting mac to switch from speakers to USB headset automatically
Hi, all.
I just got a USB headset with microphone to use as part of a job. If I
plug the headset in, I have to go to system preferences and manually
switch the input and output to the headset. Was wondering if there is a
way to set this up so that I don't have to do that/ It's a cheap set,
only cost $43 at Staples.
