Expected behavior
If Aptune exits because the input-source switch fails, it should fully stop audio capture and release the microphone instead of leaving the mic active.
Actual behavior
After Aptune quits abruptly during the Bluetooth-mic to built-in-mic switch described in #2, the microphone is still on.
Steps to reproduce
- Start Aptune while the active capture/input source is a Bluetooth microphone.
- Run the Spotlight launcher
Aptune Built-in Mic so Aptune switches back to the Mac's built-in microphone.
- Observe Aptune quit abruptly.
- Check the microphone state immediately afterward.
- Observe that the microphone is still on even though Aptune has exited.
Environment
Same environment as #2:
macOS 26.3.1 (25D2128)
MacBook Air (Apple M4, Mac16,12)
Spotlight launcher installed with aptune install-plugin built-in-mic
Launcher used: Aptune Built-in Mic
Suggested prompt
Investigate why Aptune leaves the microphone active after the abrupt termination reported in #2. Review the shutdown and cleanup path around input rerouting and aptune use-built-in-mic --replace-running to ensure the capture session is torn down and the input device is released when Aptune exits unexpectedly.
