Audio keeps twitching and freezing #1037
Description
Hello! So i've had this problem with eqmac for 5 months, from the point i installed it.
When i connect my airpods pro 2's, and open eqmac, the audio keeps switching from airpods to eqmac driver, and it does that constantly, its never stopping. I tried everything to fix it but i came to the conclusion that its just too hard for me to fix. Its not from my macbook thats one thing i know.

Same, I used to bypass for my airpods but the feature is broken too.

Confirming @ixxexi — Bypass looks broken in v1.9.1, and downgrading to v1.8.15 fixed this for me.
On v1.9.1, ticking Bypass on my AirPods Pro row unticks itself immediately while they are connected. I can tick it while they are disconnected and it sticks, but it gets cleared the moment they reconnect — so it is never actually in effect for the device I want bypassed. Auto Select on the same rows persists fine. With Bypass effectively off, the default output device keeps changing hands between
AirPods ProandAirPods Pro (eqMac)every second or two, which is the twitching in this issue.On v1.8.15 — same machine, same driver 2.6.0, prefs untouched — Bypass stays ticked through reconnects: eqMac processes my DisplayPort monitor and leaves the AirPods completely alone.
macOS 26.7 (25G229), M5 Max.

fix for bypass issue is in progress, should be out with next update.
As for the airpod switching it may or may not be a different issue. @cheianis is bypass enabled for airpods in your eqMac? are you on the latest version 1.9.1?
