How can I change default audio / sound output or remove the displayport audio option?

I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite and while I don't have any of the number of issues that see to accompany that move, I've discovered a different one that is not necessarily related to it, but is irritating.
2014 Macbook Pro Retina
I use a thunderbolt to displayport (AKA just displayport) cable to attach a Dell monitor to my mac at the desk.
Prior to this update, the mac ignored the display as far as audio was concerned (the Dell does NOT have audio built in).  But now it seems to think it does.
Moreover, it continually switches back to that Sound output in the preferences whenever I plug or unplug an audio source from the audio jack.  This is Annoying!
Is there any  way to either
1) set the default to prefer the internal speakers / headphones instead of the DP?
2) remove the Sound output for the DisplayPort connection (which is a false connection since the Dell doesn't actually have AUDIO)
Thanks much

I found the com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist and Com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist, but can't make sense of either enough to feel confident in altering any entries there.  here's the SystemSettings one that seems like it might have something you could change, but...

  • How can I change default build time from 1 sec to .5 sec?

    Whenever I create a build, the default time is 1 sec. I'd like it to be .5 sec. I use a blank master slide. How can I change the default build time for all slides? Or can I?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

  • How Can I Change Default Zoom Settings For Safari?

    I just got my new iMac and hate the fact that everytime I open Safari everything is small and centered directly in the Safari screen.  How can I change the default settings so it either zooms in more or is in a landscaped mode so I don't have two big white patches on the sides of my window?

    The only way I know of, (and that I use) is as follows:
    Open textedit and create a new document.
    Add the following 3 lines to the file
    body {
    zoom: 175%
    Save the file as "somename.css". I called mine defaultzoom.css and saved it in Documents.
    In Safari go to Preferences | Advanced.
    In the Style sheet: dropdown box choose "other" and browse to the location of your somename.css file.
    That's it, now webpages will open with the default zoom level you used in the file (I use 175% but you need to tweak it for your screen size). Also, I do run into situations where some pages don't render correctly. If that happens you can go back to Safari | Preferences | Advanced and change the Style sheet dropdown box to none until you are done viewing that paticular website. Then just put it back when you are done.

  • Nokia 808 -How can I change camera shutter sound t...

    How can I change the camera shutter tone to louder snap sound.
    I want to change it to some other sound also..
    Please don't ask me to download other camera apps. I have tried so many but still prefer the original apps which give me the best picture and video always.

    That is not what OP meant, as for some reason they want a louder or more distinctive tone as some users like with ringtones!
    Well if 'capture Tone'allows you to change the shutter sound then that's exactly what he meant , unless I'm missing something

  • How can I change a restrictions passcode without losing all the restricted settings?

    We have two iPads for two boys... both are heavily restricted.  One of my boys saw the passcode and I changed it by disabling and then re-enabling restrictions, only to be shocked when ALL MY SETTINGS were reverted to default and DIDNT come back after enabling restrictions again.  How can I change the passcode on the other iPad without losing all the settings, especially the long list of blocked websites?
    Thanks in advance.

    What good would the passcode be if you could bypass it like that?

  • How can I change a wrong e-mail adres in the Adobe ID for an E-Reader.

    I have an Adobe ID for Digital Editions for my pc.
    Then I connected an E-Reader to my pc and I had to authorize the reader with an Adobe ID.
    I thought it would be the same as the ID for my pc, but the system send my the message that this ID already was in use and I had to give another e-mail adres.
    I found this very strange, because it was for the same Digital Editions, and I had used the same adres and password before (My pc crashed a week before and I had to re-install Windows Vista again) but accidently I then typed in a wrong e-mail adres and that e-mail adres was accepted and from that moment I had two Adobe ID's.
    That adres is a non-existing adres, so I wil change it into the correct one.
    But how can I change it, I can't found any possibility to do so.

    Go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, then sign back in with the correct ID.

  • How can i change my secret question if i forget the answers

    Dear Apple community,
    Please help
    how can i change my secret question or more clearly if i forget the answers to my secret question some how? What is the procedure to get it changed.
    Thanks

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Can't change device for sound output

    Hi,
    Hi I've a MBP 17 inch that is plugged in to an USB sound card.
    I usually just switched between the USB sound card and the internal speakers through the day, but for some reason that isn't working for me anymore.
    No matter what preference I pick from the Sound Preferes output devices list, the Mac plays its sound on whatever device it picked as default -- for example, if I boot it without the USB audio card plugged in, it plays on the internal speakers; if I reboot it with the USB plugged in, it plays sound to the USB card.
    So the actually problem is in switching between the devices.
    I couldn't link this to anything abnormal, just started out of nowhere.
    Any ideas? Any preference files I can delete or re-setup?
    From the Console application, this is what I get when I try to change devices:
    2/2/10 8:05:25 AM System Preferences[477] Error who? trying to set sOut device to 262
    Thanks in advance.

    I wasn't familiar with that app; I just tried it, and got the same problems.
    It won't let me change the sound output.
