How do I restore default Audio MIDI settings on MacBook Air?

Hey there!

I am new to mac.

I have changed Audio MIDI setup settings by mistake on M4 air.

Now I wanna change the settings to default but I don't remember those settings. Let me know if you got any solutions.

Anyone having M4 air can share screenshots if they want to.

restore audio settings to default? I needed to record Mac's "what you hear" output using software called Blackhole (from Existential Audio) This turned out to be a big mistake and i uninstalled the software. From that point on my audio settings were "wrong" in other programs (like Traktor). Is there a way to restore my Mac audio settings to default?

24 and 32 bit audio selected in Audio MIDI Setup are not retained after OS reboot 1. Insert any 24-bit and/or 32-bit DAC/amplifier without its own potentiometer/volume control (for example, Hidizs S9 Pro or FiiO KA3) into the USB port. By the way, I have a Mac mini on the M1 chip. 2. Launch the Audio MIDI Setup utility. 3. For our DAC/Amplifier, select 24-bit or 32-bit audio output from the drop-down list. 4. Set the DAC/Amplifier volume to any value in the operating system (for example, 50%). 5. Reboot the OS. After that, the volume will be set to the maximum, that is, at 100%!!! The value for volume is saved only for 16-bit audio output (for 24-bit and 32-bit audio output, the value for volume is not saved). It's funny, but in Windows there is no problem with this! 😁 Please fix this bug as soon as possible. It makes it very difficult to use DACs/amps that don't have their own potentiometer/volume control.
