Wrong output when plugging external headphones in M1 mac mini

Hi, here is an issue that one can reproduce easily with the DemoRunner (on develop and juce7 branch):

  • With no headphone plugged in the mac mini, launch DemoRunner, choose the AudioPlaybackDemo, select an audio file and click ‘Play’. The file plays on the internal mac mini speakers.

  • Plug an headphone in the mac mini. Go to the ‘Settings’ tab: the ‘Ouput’ combo shows ‘External Headphones’ . So far no issue, but return to the ‘Demo’ tab and click Play: The file still plays on the internal speakers instead of the headphones !

Moreover, if you try to select ‘Mac mini speakers’ in the settings tab, it does not have any effect, the ‘Output’ combo still displays ‘External Headphones’.
