Similar but slightly different problem: on my 2017 iMac running macOS 10.14.6, I have a number of possible sound outputs as seen in the attached jpg. Currently my headphones (wired) are selected in the screenshot, but I usually have internal spkr selected.Makes no difference, the sound always comes out on the Acer display's miserable muffled built-in spkrs. Since the Acer is connected USB-C/HDMI there's really no way to hide its spkrs.Almost seems like Ring s/w looks at the list and selects the alphabetically first one._ **Ring** **folks** _: pls have Ring follow the sys prefs-selected output as almost all other apps do. Or give me a selector in Ring prefs.

SThank you, Marley. This is the kind of rapid and sensible response that greatly increases my confidence in you folks (unlike many other suppliers).Of course, the next step also needs to be carried out, which is to evaluate the submissions, and the next also, to act on the most worthy and urgent suggestions in a way that meets user needs, not as a checklist item.I think my suggestion is worthy, but not really that urgent, as I have an iPhone and an iPad on which I can hear my audio, so 'll wait in line if I develop sufficient confidence in the process to warrant it. Most users with my definitely first-world issue will by the very nature of the issue also have more than normal average with which to cope with it. Power users, after all.I'll resubmit a version of the original request to the new board.

I've had this same problem on my Mac for years. The auido for the Ring application will only play via the built in speaker on my Mac Pro (trash can style). Selecting different Audio Output Devices makes no difference. I've removed the Ring application and reinstalled but still the same issue. Audio out works fine on all other programs playing thru my external speakers. I sure wish someone would find a solution.
