Feature Request:Audio Output Device dropdown

I just upgraded to a 2018 mini, and because my display is connected with DisplayPort, the speakers turn off when it powers off to sleep, so I don’t hear the sound from SS if the screen sleeps. My solution was to use the included Audio MIDI Setup from the Utilities folder to Add a Multi-Output Device including the mini speakers and the display. I would love to choose the mini speakers for SS and use the display speakers for other audio.

Thanks.

    Thanks for the suggestion, however SecuritySpy uses whatever audio output is set in the system preferences, which is almost always the right thing to do. We have never had a request from a user to set a different output in SecuritySpy, and therefore I don't think this would be useful for the vast majority of users, so I'm afraid it's unlikely that we'll be implementing such an option.

    Fair enough, though it might be more useful going forward with additional audio devices on new Macs but that would depend on display speakers sleeping too. Thanks.
