I just finished updating my OS X to El Capitan, and when I went to open AU Lab, it said the Soundflower input and output could not be found. I checked system preferences and both Soundflower 2ch and 64ch are no longer listed in the Sound tab. I uninstalled and reinstalled both Soundflower and AU Lab twice but this hasn't fixed the problem.
- Jul 21, 2017 Soundflower is a OS X system extension that allows applications to pass audio to other applications. Soundflower is easy to use, it simply presents itself as an audio device, allowing any audio application to send and receive audio with no other support needed. Soundflower is free, open-source, and runs on Mac Intel and PPC computers.
- 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.
Not an earth shattering problem. I use soundflower extensively to facilitate screen recordings over Facetime on my iMac. Without it, it is really difficult to record system sounds as well as my external mic.
After updating to OS X El Capitan I found that soundflower simply wasn’t ‘there’ and didn’t/wouldn’t run. A quick google brought me to THIS PAGE – with the instructions working perfectly. Only thing I did differently was delete the old soundflower from the system – and yes, the uninstall soundflower option did still work.
So far so good – no major problems and the software I’ve been using that relies on soundflower is back to normal.
For those interested, there is some background information HERE explaining the problem.
