Does it work in 4.2 or 4.3? Apple makes breaking changes, so older versions of Spine may struggle.

Ah it looks like it works in 4.2. Looks like it's time I upgrade lol. Scrubbing audio started to work too after I stopped using my airpods and played the audio through built-in speakers.

You are going to like 4.2! (and 4.3! but it's in beta)

Can you choose your airpods on the Audio view? It should show all your audio devices.

The only audio options I have are Default audio device and CoreAudio Default which doesn't make any apparent difference in audio output quality or output device. This screenshot is from the Audio view in a 4.2 file.

Thanks, we'll take a look at better support for multiple audio devices on Mac.

Ah, the way to choose the output device for Spine is in the macOS settings.
