Start playing audio in a properly configured application. Configuration will vary slightly from application to application you must ensure that the application in question uses either system audio or has Soundflower (2ch) selected as its audio device.

The 2017 MacBook Pros (Sierra 10.12.5, USB-C) may have added a new issue, as the above process has not yet allowed me to control volume with my keyboard. I think it is related to the sound being over DisplayPort. But it also could be incorrect installation. I have not previously installed Soundflower or Soundflowerbed.

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.

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.

Soundflower Installation Failed

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.

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).
