PLEASE READ BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INTALL!

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.

Apple makes you jump through a few hoops. 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. Once there, there should be an «Allow» button (**) that you will need to click on to give permission to use Soundflower (developer: MATT INGALLS). Then, RUN THE INSTALLER AGAIN. It should inform you installation was successful. If the «Allow» button is disabled, you may need to click the lock icon in the bottom lower left corner first.

(**) 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 so, click the «Open Anyway» button which will display another window. Then click the «Open» button in that window to launch the installer. Now you can follow the instructions above to get the «Allow» button to appear in the Security Preferences.

NOTE: This is only the Soundflower kernel extension. The SoundflowerBed app is retired. A new replacement is in the works. 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. Here’s an example:

Say i want to play some audio in iTunes, but record it in Quicktime while listening to it out of the built-in speakers. Here is how i would set it up:

start playing audio

Open Audio MIDI Setup: (found in /Applications/Utilities)

hit the ‘+’ button in the bottom left corner and select «Create Multi Output Device»
in the the panel that appears on the right, select «Built-in Output» AND «Soundflower (2ch)»
then hit the button with the gear icon bottom left and select «use this device for sound output» (you should still be hearing your iTunes output — it is now going to both Soundflower and the built-in speakers)

Then In Quicktime:

create a new audio recording
in the popup menu next to record button select «Soundflower (2ch)» as the input
(you should now see record levels changing)
hit record!

JUST LOOKING FOR THE (SIGNED) SOUNDFLOWER INSTALLER?

THE MOST RELIABLE WAY TO UNINSTALL

From the Finder, HIT Shift-Cmd-G and TYPE:

Then inside that folder, look for a «Soundflower.kext» file. If there is one, DRAG it into the trash (you may be asked for the admin password)

REPEAT, typing in this folder path:

Then OPEN THE TERMINAL APP (found in /Applications/Utilities/)

Type this line, entering your password when asked.

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BUILD SOUNDFLOWER YOURSELF

Soundflower Source ReadMe

Originally by ma++ ingalls for Cycling’74 Revised by Tim Place, 16 October 2008, for version 1.4

To build Soundflower, open a terminal window and cd to the Soundflower folder. Then follow these steps:

Change directories into the Tools directory: cd Tools

Build Soundflower: ./build.rb

The build.rb will provide info about its required arg, which you will need to supply (Development or Deployment — or the shorthand for them: dev or dep). It will also prompt you for your password so that it can set permissions correctly and load the kext automatically when the build is complete.

If you wish, build an installer for Soundflower: ./installer.rb

Soundflower.xcodeproj is an Xcode 3.1 compatible project. You can download Xcode 3.1 as a part of Apple’s developer tools from http://developer.apple.com/ .

There are two Build Configurations in the project: the Development build configuration builds Soundflower for the architecture of the machine you are using suitable for debugging. The Deployment configuration builds a Universal Binary version suitable for distribution. Both configurations link against the Mac OS 10.4 SDK.

Files in a kernel extension (kext) bundle have to be set as follows: owner: root — read/write group: wheel — read only others: read only

Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a simple way to do this in Xcode. Xcode cannot execute scripts with sudo permissions, and it cannot invoke any user interaction (e.g. and applescript dialog) to finish a build.

In the Soundflower ‘Tools’ folder there is a Ruby script called ‘load.rb’ which will copy the built kext into the install location using sudo. This sets the owner and group correctly. When you run the ‘build.rb’ script it builds the project with Xcode and then runs the ‘load.rb’ script automatically.

The master version number is updated in the Xcode project’s target settings.
Specifically, you edit the MODULE_VERSION entry to set it. All other places where the version number is needed (including in the installer), it is accessed from this master location.

Soundflower is licensed under the terms of the MIT license.

Разрешить различным приложениям доступ к вашей звуковой карте

Вы когда-нибудь хотели включить приложение для доступа к вашей звуковой карте или взаимодействия с другим приложением через звуковую карту? Soundflower — это бесплатное расширение аудиосистемы, которое позволяет приложениям передавать аудио в другие приложения.

Soundflower эмулирует интерфейс аудиоустройства, но позволяет любому аудиоприложению отправлять и получать аудио без какой-либо другой поддержки. Он открывается как одно из двух аудиоустройств (2ch / 16ch). Для большинства людей и потребностей достаточно двухканального устройства.

Если вы хотите, чтобы приложение взаимодействовало с другим приложением через звуковую карту, выберите Soundflower в качестве устройства вывода в первом приложении и Soundflower в качестве устройства ввода во втором приложении. Если приложение не позволяет вам указывать аудиоустройства, вы можете сделать Soundflower устройством ввода или вывода по умолчанию на панели «Звук» в «Системных настройках» или с помощью утилиты Audio MIDI Setup, которая является лишь немного сложной частью.

Сначала вы можете слышать помехи при настройке аудиоканала, и если это так, разработчики рекомендуют увеличить размер буфера обоих приложений (устанавливается в каждом приложении). Обратите внимание, что если несколько приложений отправляют свой вывод на один и тот же канал, звук будет смешан.

Практические занятия Soundflower включают проведение интервью с обоими голосами. Поэтому вместо того, чтобы записывать интервью со Skype и слышать только один голос, Soundflower позволяет записывать оба голоса для более профессионального производства. В качестве альтернативы, это полезно для маршрутизации звука из приложений, таких как iTunes и Spotify, в другие приложения и устройства.

Обратите внимание, что эта загрузка предназначена для OS X 10.5.8+. Вы также можете загрузить совместимую с OS X 10.4 версию (версия 1.4.3). ,

Soundflower — замечательно эффективное и бесплатное решение для маршрутизации звука. ,

Дополнительные исправления для пользователей admin, которые не являются 501 SoundflowerBed: новая функция «клонировать для всех каналов», представленную iSchemy. Регуляторы громкости теперь являются логарифмическими. Разрешения исправления для пользователей-администраторов, которые не исправляют 501 исправления скриптов на проблемах установки Lion SoundflowerBed.
