How Krisp automatically selects your audio devices

Krisp manages your audio devices automatically: it selects newly added devices, gives them priority, and switches your microphone and speaker as your device list changes.

If you move between workplaces or use different microphones and docking stations, Krisp remembers your previous setup and switches to the correct device each time you move from one to another.

  Hint

Auto-selection does not apply if you have already set a default microphone for Krisp in your system settings.

Automatic selection of newly added audio device

When you plug in a new device for the first time, Krisp selects it automatically, so your next call uses it without any change on your side.

  Info

Devices that support Voice Isolation are prioritized over other USB audio devices, so Krisp uses your Voice Isolation-compatible device for the best voice clarity on calls. Learn more in this article.

Automatic selection of the most recently selected device

When your device list changes, Krisp selects the microphone and speaker with the highest priority. If your previous device is no longer available, Krisp switches to the next available device that you most recently selected in Krisp.

Manually selecting an audio device in Krisp moves it to the top of the priority list, so Krisp follows your preference the next time your devices change.
