Welcome to our Soundflower installation guide. Installing Soundflower on modern macOS versions can be a little complicated as kernel extensions need now to be given permissions before being loaded for the first time. So the Soundflower installer will error out on macOS High Sierra and Mojave. But this is easy to fix.

macOS 10.13 High Sierra and macOS 10.14 Mojave Soundflower Install

1. Download the installer: soundflower_2.0b2.zip.
2. Run it and perform the install
3. The installer will tell you that it failed. This is completely normal.
4. Open the System Preferences and go to the “Security & Privacy” settings.
5. Click on the “Allow” button next to “MATT INGALS”.(This has to be a physical hardware click. Remote desktop connections or even local software tools like “Better Touch Tool” won’t work!)
6. Run the installer again. This time it will run through without any problems.

Soundflower for Mac. 31,457 downloads Updated: March 1, 2019 GPL. Review Free Download 100% FREE report malware. Oct 30, 2019 It's what Inter-App Audio does on iOS, but Apple never actually implemented a similar system on the Mac, hence the need for Soundflower. Sadly, as MacOS developed and its core systems and code changed significantly, support for Soundflower - which came out in 2004 - became patchy and eventually it stopped working on more recent versions of the OS.

IMPORTANT: If you can’t record from Soundflower under Mojave (the device is there but only silence is being recorded) make sure that you have given microphone access permissions to your recording app! macOS treats Soundflower like a microphone in this regard. Go to system preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Privacy -> Microphone -> [check mark next to your recording app]

macOS 10.10 - 10.12 Soundflower Install

Because we’re getting this asked a lot: Here’s how you get Soundflower to work with macOS 10.12 Sierra and OS X 10.10 and 10.11…

As you know, since 10.10, OS X requires kernel extensions to be signed. Sadly the officially available version of Soundflower isn’t signed because it’s an open source project and - as far as we know - no one has volunteered to do the work and pay the $99 fee to obtain a signing certificate.

That’s why we have built a signed version of Soundflower which will work on OS X 10.10, 10.11 and the new macOS 10.12 Sierra.

Here is the direct download link: soundflower_2.0b2.zip.

Soundflower Mac Download 2019 Version

Download the zip and run the contained installer. Even though not required you probably should restart your Mac to make sure everything got installed properly.

Enjoy!

Please note that we can’t offer direct support for Soundflower. We just built a version you can install on macOS 10.11 and 10.12. If you encounter any problems please contact Soundflower’s developer! You can find their project page here: https://github.com/Soundflower-Original

Shameless self promotion: Have you tried Vector yet? Vector is an audio editor for OS X that is designed to fit into the space between simple audio apps and full blown studio production tools. (Kinda like Cool Edit Pro for the Mac - if you are that old school).

Soundflower For Mac Sierra

Existential Audio Blackhole is the next generation free audio routing app with macOS Catalina support and is the successor of Soundflower

Every musician with a macOS computer knows the application Soundflower with which one can change and customize the internal routing of audio. With the new Blackhole app from the indie developer Existential Audio comes the next generation of audio routing app. Maybe also the successor of Soundflower and it’s for free.

As the development of Soundflower in recent years has not progressed, Blackhole could quickly take the place as the number one. Points that corroborate this are: it’s a free app downloadable from GitHub, up to 16 channels, sample rates up to 192 kHz, support for macOS 10.15 Catalina…

Blackhole (not the Eventide reverb) follows the same concept as Soundflower. The driver plugs into macOS’ core audio architecture and can support up to 16 channels. This number is extendable up to 256 channels via driver rebuild options with sample rates up to 192kHz, with no additional latency.

Usage

• Record system audio
• Route audio between applications
• Advanced routing options
• Supports 16 audio channels.
• Customizable to 256+ channels if you think your computer can handle it.
• Supports 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, and 192kHz sample rates.
• No additional driver latency.
• Works on macOS 10.10+ including macOS 10.15 Catalina

Blackhole by Existential Audio is available now as a free download. You can support the developer via Patreon with a donation.
