Select output tab and choose soundflower(2ch). Launching System Sound PreferenceĪfter you have installed soundflower, you need to launch the sound system preference and you can see evidences of the extension in the output and input tab. In this tutorial we will show you how to capture audio with Soundflower system extension. First of all you need to download and install soundflower on your computer. It is free, open-source and runs on PPC and Mac Intel computers. The extension is quite easy to use as it simply presents itself as an audio device allowing other audio apps to send or receive audio without the need of any other support. Say i want to play some audio in iTunes, but record it in Quicktime while listening to it out of the built-in speakers.Soundflower is a Mac OS X system extension which permits applications to pass audio to other apps. In the meantime, you can take your chances with an older version of Soundflowerbed, but you can do a lot with a Multi-Output Aggregate Device. NOTE: This is only the Soundflower kernel extension. Now you can follow the instructions above to get the "Allow" button to appear in the Security Preferences. Then click the "Open" button in that window to launch the installer. If so, click the "Open Anyway" button which will display another window. (**) If you see an "Open Anyway" button in the Security Preferences, this is something different!!! Most likely because you tried (and failed) opening the installer by double clicking without holding down the control key. If the "Allow" button is disabled, you may need to click the lock icon in the bottom lower left corner first.

It should inform you installation was successful. Once there, there should be an "Allow" button (**) that you will need to click on to give permission to use Soundflower (developer: MATT INGALLS). The first time you run the installer (Soundflower.pkg), it will ask for your admin password, and will FAIL! A security alert will appear, with a button to take you to System Preferences "Security & Privacy - General" pane. Note that the even though this Soundflower extension is signed, but the installer is not! You will have to hold the control key down to open the Soundflower.pkg installer for the first time.Īpple makes you jump through a few hoops.
