Map the external device to the 2 channel soundflower output device and use soundflower 2 ch as output device in OSX. There you go: you can now adjust sound via volume keys for a device that usually not supports this;) – Bijan Nov 1 '15 at 20:16.

- Power on the Mac and immediately press ⌘ Command +⌥ Option + P + R. Continue to hold these keys until your Mac restarts. 3 Release the keys when you hear the startup sound again. Your computer will continue to boot as normal.
- Recently I uninstalled Loopback and Soundflower from my computer. However, they still appear as audio devices for both input and output. I have run their uninstalls. I have reinstalled the programs just to re-run uninstalls. I have also looked in the /Extensions folders: couldn't find Loopback but did find and delete Soundflower.kext.
Soundflower is a free system extension that lets you channel audio from one application to another. Perhaps you want to take the audio playing in a movie in your web browser and record it using QuickTime's audio input? Inter-application audio driver Soundflower can help you do this by emulating the interface of an audio device and allowing any audio application to send and receive audio with no other support needed.

Marvin Webster•a few seconds agoIt gets the job done, but after the job is done your internal speakers will no longer work nor will your internal microphone. You must change your settings back to normal. It took me a long time to figure this out. A real pain in the butt application, but it works.
Don Ball•a few seconds agoTrying to uninstall is even more horrid. Bits and such still hiding out that app cleaners could not quite remove. Had to Time Machine.
ray Torres•a few seconds agoi keep getting an error but it wont tell me why therefore i can not finish the install.
S. McCandlish•a few seconds agoThis was good in its day (like around 2014), but hasn't worked properly for years in newer versions of macOS. The modern and much more capable replacement is Loopback. (Some other software can do some of the same things, including Boom2, Movavi Sound Grabber, and various other utilities for grabbing streaming audio and video, but most of them really are intended just for that, e.g. recording Spotify streams.) I prefer Loopback, because it's a configurable virtual sound device, and can even be set up on an app-by-app basis (e.g., you can set it to record some long TED talk or whatever on YouTube in Chrome without echoing the audio to your physical output device, then go watch a movie in VLC without the audio from that interfering with your TED recording). Because the OS sees it as a device, it can be set in one for other purposes, such as screen-recording software like Voila. You can thus use such a combo to rip any online video even if you can't find a downloading app or browser extension that supports the site in question. (The only downside is you have to let the whole thing play from start to finish while you grab it. So, go make dinner or something.)I'll give this three stars, since it's still usable on old versions of Mac OS X. However, various newer, better programs are also.
Tammy Creo•a few seconds agoI have tried hundreds of time to download the software, but all I get when I click on the software is the installation over and over and over. I cannot find the actual software to use.
Walewatchers Ltd•a few seconds agonot working on my MacBook Air Catalina no sound in Manycam. I have tried every possible way of installing it but fails every time
FYPNLP .•a few seconds agocomplete garbage. Avoid at all costs. Sets itself as default sound output. You've been warned
William Keyser•a few seconds agoA very light, indispensable tool for opening up a stock Mac's audio capabilities. Combined with AU Lab, I was able to easily equalize my Klipsch 2.1 desktop speakers that came out of the box so boomy as to be unusable. Now, they sound amazing.. all with 2 free, light pieces of software that take a little work setting up and then.. it's all good. I just have an AU Lab saved settings icon on my desktop that I click after a reboot and I have fantastic sound.
Nancy Luong•a few seconds agoYou don't need soundflower to record audio on screen recordings on quicktime. I can just select internal microphone, but didn't see that was an option till after I downloaded Soundflower. Now I have it installed but can't uninstall it.
Joseph Mihalak•a few seconds agoWell, it doesn't work. I read the uninstall instructions and don't understand any of it. Programs like Clean My Mack won't find it so it cannot be uninstalled this way.
Definitely not for 'normal' users.
Do not recommend for users who are not programmers.
The Ferg is the Word!•a few seconds agoI love it! Never had any issues with it, install is simple and easy and I'll never use anything else!
Clayton Richardson•a few seconds agoWell, it sounds like a great program and I was sent here by a YouTube video that raved about this product and the problems it solved, however, this program would not install on my Mac and so I'll never know.(High Sierra OS10.13.4) Is there and upgrade or something, please, something, anything..

it works for some things, but makes other things not work. I used it to record internal sound on Quicktime screen recordings, but I found that it disabled my Shazam listening app, and had to uninstall to get Shazam to work.

I installed the app to record streaming audio for a specific site. It wouldn't work and, even using the Uninstaller app, I cannot get it out of the Sound panel of System Preferences. VERY frustrating!
Anonymous•a few seconds agoThe download isn't working on Yosemite.
This shows up as a blank "file" when you download it. Solutions anyone?
Anonymous•a few seconds agoDoesn't Work.
Same problem. I downloaded it, followed the instructions & it just doesn't show under preferences to be able to select it. WTF?
Pros: Don't know, it doesn't work
Cons: It doesn't work
Anonymous•a few seconds agoDoes what it's supposed to do.
I've only used it a handful of times, but once I figured out how it works (not that difficult; you just have to pay attention to the instructions, know what I mean?). After setting it up, I was rather pleased with its performance, and it does exactly what it's supposed to do: route audio from various applications to your computer, with no apparent loss of quality.

Anonymous•a few seconds agoFixed sound volume control problem with HDMI audio.
Works ok with me on my Mac mini (mid 2011). Can now use volume control with sound via HDMI to display speakers, which is not normally possible, as HDMI audio output is fixed level. For the other reviewer who could not launch the app, please click the flower (like large asterisk) icon on top menu bar.

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
- Download the installer: soundflower_2.0b2.zip.
- Run it and perform the install
- The installer will tell you that it failed. This is completely normal.
- Open the System Preferences and go to the “Security & Privacy” settings.
- 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!)
- Run the installer again. This time it will run through without any problems.
Sound Flower Mac El Capitan
Click 'Open Security Preferences'
Click on the Allow button and run the installer again.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]
See our blog post about this issue: https://www.fluxforge.com/blog/recording-problems-on-mojave/
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 For Mac Sierra
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).
