apple airbuds for MacBook pro

I'm trying to find out if I can use (Genuine Apple) airbuds to listen to all audio output on my macbook pro and not just music.

Thank you.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.7

By "airbuds" are you referring to the Apple AirPods or EarPods? Regardless, either can be used with a MacBook Pro for Bluetooth audio ... music or otherwise.

MacOS - Ventura 3rd party audio library is unable to open audio devices I'm running X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12 on an Intel Mac Mini using the PilotEdge plugin (Air Traffic Control service). In X-Plane 11 I can select an audio device (input and output) for the PilotEdge plugin to use. In X-Plane 12 I cannot. I'm trying to get more insights from Laminar (maker of X-Plane) as to what has changed but also want to find out if there is anything I can do in MacOS Ventura to test / check or fix issues such as this. Long shot I know, but I'm clutching at straws right now. Cheers Steve

Yes, thank you. I was thinking about buying AirPod 4 but only if it would allow me to play all MacBook sounds through them, (not just music.)

Thank you
