It also works with other Bluetooth headphones and with input devices such as mice, keyboards, and game pad controllers. You can see at a glance which devices are connected, as well as their battery levels. ToothFairy can also make music and videos sound better by using a higher quality codec for audio output.<\/p>\n\n<p>This is a free update that includes the following changes:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/c-command.com\/toothfairy\/images\/2.7\/battery-status@2x.png\" title=\"See multiple Bluetooth devices at once, including their battery levels.\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" align=\"right\" width=\"161\" alt=\"See multiple Bluetooth devices at once, including their battery levels.\" src=\"https:\/\/c-command.com\/toothfairy\/images\/2.7\/battery-status-thumb%402x.png\" height=\"46\" \/><\/a>Made various improvements to the workaround for the macOS issue that could prevent the sound output from being set when connecting a device. The workaround is successful more often, avoids unnecessary disconnections when the sound output spontaneously fixes itself, and it better handles devices that have been put away or manually disconnected.<\/li>\n\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/c-command.com\/toothfairy\/images\/2.7\/settings@2x.png\" title=\"Device Settings\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" align=\"right\" width=\"161\" alt=\"Device Settings\" src=\"https:\/\/c-command.com\/toothfairy\/images\/2.7\/settings-thumb%402x.png\" height=\"141\" \/><\/a>The menu bar icon now shows when ToothFairy is fixing the sound output. An arrow in a solid circle indicates that the device is currently connected but in the process of disconnecting. An arrow with no circle indicates that the device is waiting to reconnect.<\/li>\n\t<li>ToothFairy no longer reports that the sound output is not set when the device isn\u2019t connected, anyway.<\/li>\n\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/c-command.com\/toothfairy\/images\/2.7\/advanced@2x.png\" title=\"Advanced Settings\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"161\" alt=\"Advanced Settings\" src=\"https:\/\/c-command.com\/toothfairy\/images\/2.7\/advanced-thumb%402x.png\" align=\"right\" height=\"141\" \/><\/a>Fixed a problem where the progress spinner could stay visible forever, even after the device disconnected.<\/li>\n\t<li>Fixed a problem where ToothFairy could show a Bluetooth connection failure error message for connections that the user did not initiate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>ToothFairy 2.8.3 works with macOS 10.13 through macOS 13 and requires a Bluetooth device.
