Your default audio depends on the type of call. When you make a video call, you want to be able to look at your phone while you talk, so your speaker is the default audio. When you make an audio call or answer a call, your earpiece is the default.

You can only change your audio from speaker to earpiece while you're in a call, unless you want a setting such as Answer calls with speaker on to apply to all incoming calls.
