Throughout this year, we’ve been working hard on significant improvements to the first-run experience for all of our audio capture applications as promised in our 2024 status report. We’ve shipped free updates to Piezo and Airfoil in March, Audio Hijack in April, and Loopback in early June. The final app we need to update is our audio control utility SoundSource.

That update is almost complete. SoundSource’s next update will provide a much simpler setup process, similar to Loopback: on a new Mac, no restarts will be required, nor any of the formerly necessary security setting changes. Instead, you’ll be all set in just a few clicks.

Bringing Support for MacOS 15 (Sequoia), Too

We’ve also been making the necessary refinements to get SoundSource working well on MacOS 15 (Sequoia), which Apple will be releasing soon. The rest of our lineup has already been updated for Sequoia, and SoundSource’s forthcoming update will offer preliminary compatibility with the new operating system release as well.

“She Needs More Work, Sir. A Shakedown!”

As we finalize SoundSource’s public release, we want to take it for a bit of a sea trial—and you can help! We’ve created a test release of SoundSource, for use on MacOS 14.5 and higher, including betas of MacOS 15.¹ To try it out, just click the big button below:

This will be a free update for all existing users, so don’t hesitate to give it a spin. We’re very interested in getting your feedback on this update, so please get in touch with us via this link, or through the Contact Us… command in SoundSource’s Help menu. Whether you experience issues or it’s working well for you, let us know.

Footnotes:

1. We’ll have another update to SoundSource that’s compatible with MacOS 11 through 14.4.1, as well. For now, we’re focused on testing against MacOS 14.5 and up. ↩︎
