Hi, my iPad defaults audio to the last device connected. For example when I connect to a monitor it will route audio the monitor. Or if have I have Bluetooth connected and want to listen with the built in speakers. Is there a way to pick the device the iPad uses for audio?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Thanks chris_g, that's helpful. One other thing, when l connect to a thunderbolt dock don't see the built in speakers, just the dock is showing up. Is there a way to use them when connecting to use built in speakers while connected to my dock?
