A quick look at SoundSource by Rogue Amoeba and how mac users can benefit from more control over the audio on their system. Go beyond one interface & redirect apps directly to the outputs you need to use. There's even a free trial so you can check it out on your system before spending any more. Give it a try and let us know what you think.

We have no affiliation at all here, no affiliate links or incentive to recommend SoundSource. We paid full price for this software & if you've got an alternative way to get this same functionality, it would be great to hear from you.

I literally just use soudsource because for some unknown reason macOS doesn't come with a built in volume mixer and this app works as one. I dont use the more advanced features but I imagine they would be nice to have if I did any type of audio work.

I ran Sound Source for a few months, but never found a situation where I needed it’s capabilities. Cool idea though.

Damn some people are so rude. Anway, I use most of Rogue Amoeba's apps, daily drivers are Audio Hijack, Fission, and Loopback. Thought there might be some overlap between some of these (Loopback and Sounstage) but I can see why they broke them up into separate apps. Overall in my experience, their other apps have been rock solid. So solid they really should be part of macOS by default. I mean they bought Shazam because it was so useful. Also I don't have an issue with music in your videos, or anything actually I got all the info without a headache. My mom couldnt listen to music while I tell her complex things either. But honestly she wasnt going to get it even with the volume off

Looks like SoundSource has some of the basic framework as their other apps, just packaged a bit differently. I use Audio Hijack to do the same thing. I setup a session just yesterday for a corporate show where I needed to record Dante from a CL5 - the "broadcast recording feed" using DVS inputs 1/2, to the MP3 recorder then I had Spotify as an application capture redirected through an AU plugin to do some volume smoothing, then out to DVS Dante output 1/2. I also had another application capture for running stingers (Podcast Soundboard) running through another volume leveler plugin to DVS outputs 3/4. This let me re-channelize the application outputs and record my broadcast feed all within one big Audio Hijack session. By turning on the MP3 block I could effectively start and stop my recording all while the other application re-directs were running. It all ran smoothly for 7 hours straight. And this was on an M1 MacBook Air. I'll checkout SoundSource. It might simplify what I'm doing, but what I came up with actually worked pretty well. I also have a copy of Via but found it to be a little less flexible than what I ended up with described above.

This is a truly fantastic app, as with anything Rogue Ameoba puts out.

To be fair, SoundSource is a little overkill for me as I'm not an audio professional, I'm a software developer. However, as most creative professionals, I run a lot of stuff and I don't want certain applications outputting everything to my main output device. Example: listening to music with headphones in Spotify, I want the audio to go to the headphones which use AutoEQ (HD600). But often times I have a Twitch stream or YouTube video on my secondary monitor, and that needs to be routed to my speakers at a lower volume to avoid interrupting my music.

Sound Control is an alternative to SoundSource, and I used this extensively for years until discovering the latter. It's not as polished as SoundSource, but one cool feature it has is priority inputs/outputs. This means that if I define e.g., my AirPods as having a higher priority than my speakers, when they connect all output audio will switch to this output (unless a certain app is instructed not to) and back to my speakers once they disconnect. I don't think SoundSource has this feature.

I had used Dante Via for audio routing. Ever since I purchased an Audient ID14, I've been using the iD mixer.

I didn't even know about Windows 10 internal routing until I saw Liam's comment.

Speeding up the visuals on this video somehow did not improve the comprehension for me. Just sayin'. 😁

Hello, after an hour of using this app, the menu bar icon turns into a warning symbol and I start to hear white noise coming out of my headphone jack or laptop speaker, what gives?

Thank you, temporary fix is restarting the app.

I stream and just want a parametric equalizer. I need simple to use software. Does soundsource provide that? Thank you in advance

Omg I need this! My work has me in 3 video chats at the same time, being able to send them to diff outputs and tweak volume would be clutch!

Help me On Mac Ventura I can't find the "Allow" option in "security and privacy" to enable this app.

Seems similar to Dante Via and is comparably priced... Am I correct in that assessment?

I just bought the Apple USB-C AV multiport adapter, and I am connecting my Macbook Air M1 to my tv via a HDMI cable. When I set the output sound to the tv, it turns out really bad; stuttering/crackling sound. Minutes ago, I downloaded Soundsource and the problem has gone!

I am a teacher and I often connect my MBA to external tv and monitors. Should I purchase this? I have a school concert coming up soon, and I afraid that the rented hall audio system will give me a headache. Appreciate your comments and feedbacks!

Can this app be used to route system audio to Quicktime for video/audio screencast recordings?

this sounds and looksNice.  
I have a 2017 iMac retina display i7, 40gb RAM, OS Ventrua and an UAD interface. Does it matter the MAC and OS I have and audio interface? 
I know UAD has its own virtual channels but this app seems to add a simple virtual mixer with nice features I can also use with my other non UAD interface Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56pro. If it does not work...does Sound Source refund the money? thanks. You did an awesome vid presentation.

Saying on your website there is a free download, and than let people find out only later that there will be a distortion after 20 minutes and you'll have to restart the app for the next 20 that's called not being honest, deluding people....
