Add tulip desktop audio device information on Mac OS X to docs
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
From a discussion on Discord, it is possible that Tulip Desktop doesn't select a reasonable audio device on startup on Mac OS X and might give no output. The solution is straightforward, but this just makes it more visible in the documentation.

## Windows build of Tulip Desktop

We've heard this works fine under WSL2 using the Linux instructions. We'd love a native build!

## Troubleshooting

Tulip on Mac OS X selects which audio device it will use for output when it starts. If you get no audio, you can check the available audio devices with

```shell
$ <path_to_app_bundle>/Tulip\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/tulip -l
0 - DELL U2715H
1 - DELL U2715H
2 - External Headphones
3 - MacBook Pro Speakers
4 - Microsoft Teams Audio
5 - ZoomAudioDevice
```

And then select the device that you want to use with the `-d <device_number>` option, for example

```shell
$ <path_to_app_bundle>/Tulip\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/tulip -d 2
```
