Once installed successfully, the Soundflower extension runs with very low latency and CPU usage, allowing each client application to use its usual buffer size. We had to rely on researching the problem online and discovering the solution by ourselves. Installing Soundflower successfully was quite a challenging process, especially as there is no user instructions or tutorial to guide you through. Rerun the installer and, this time, the installation should be successful. Once there, there should be an Allow button that you can click to permit Soundflower (developer: MATT INGALLS) to open.
The Soundflower installer will produce an error on macOS High Sierra, Mojave, and Catalina.Ī security alert will appear and you will need to go to the Security and Privacy - General pane in System Preferences. This is because kernel extensions on modern macOS versions now need to be given permissions before being loaded for the first time. The first time you run the installer (Soundflower.pkg), it will ask for your admin password and, depending on which Mac operating system you are using, this password might fail. Users need to download and run the Soundflower Installer.pkg. Note that this download is for Mac OS X versions 10.5.8+.
