Two cases, one sounds like a baby, another sounds like a monster.
Devices: iOS 15.2 Safari, iPhone 12.

Steps to reproduce:
Baby voice:
1. Open this sample(https://sdk-web-1252463788.cos.ap-hongkong.myqcloud.com/trtc/webrtc/test/rychou-test/webrtc-samples/audio/index.html) on iOS Safari.
2. Connect a bluetooth headset.
3. Close Safari and reopen it.
4. Click "start" to capture microphone and play. Try to say something and you can hear your voice.
5. Disconnect bluetooth headset, then audio will output from phone speaker.
6. Click "replay" to re-create audio element to replay audio.
7. Now, say something, your voice will sounds like a baby!

Monster voice:
1. Open this sample(https://sdk-web-1252463788.cos.ap-hongkong.myqcloud.com/trtc/webrtc/test/rychou-test/webrtc-samples/audio/index.html) on iOS Safari.
2. Don't connect bluetooth headset.
3. Close Safari and reopen it.
4. Click "start" to capture microphone and play. Try to say something and you can hear your voice.

I too am hitting both of these bugs consistently and wondering if there is a fix and/or known workaround as this is a show stopper bug for iOS and WebRTC using bluetooth?

We are running into the same issue.

Steps to replicate:

1. Go to [https://codepen.io/daginge/full/abLKZQZ](https://codepen.io/daginge/full/abLKZQZ)
2. Click ‘Get Permissions’, make sure AirPods are the selected audio device
3. Click ‘Start Call’ and verify AirPods are working by saying something
4. Hang up
5. Remove AirPods, click ‘Start Call’
6. Try saying something, you voice will sound very high-pitched (like a chipmunk).
7. Refresh the page, and try starting a call again: the chipmunk voice should still be there.

The only way to get rid of the chipmunk is by killing Safari. If you do that and then go back to the CodePen and start a call, the voice is normal.

I've tested this on the 15.3 beta:
Device: iPad Air, 4th gen (A2316)
OS: 15.3 (19D5026g)

And on iOS 15.2:
Device: iPhone 11
OS: 15.2 (19C56)
