変更点

Send Any Audio to Multiple Devices, With Output Groups
Want to send audio to two (or more!) output devices? Now you can, with new Output Groups. Bundle your desired outputs together in the “Output Groups” window, then select your group in any output device selector within SoundSource. Output Groups work with both per-app audio and all of the Mac’s audio at once.

Lightning Fast Adjustments With Quick Configs
With Quick Configs, adjusting your Mac’s audio is easier than ever. Save complete audio configurations for specific devices or different locations. After that, you can instantly switch your Mac’s entire audio configuration with a single click.

Supercharged AirPlay Streaming
SoundSource has added supercharged support for AirPlay streaming to HomePods, Sonos systems, and other wireless outputs. Now you can send all of your Mac’s audio to multiple AirPlay outputs. Or, route a single app to AirPlay while everything else stays local. You’re in control.

A Powerful New ”Audio Devices” Window
The new “Audio Devices” window gives control over an incredible wealth of settings for any and all audio devices connected to your Mac:• Key Settings: Adjust volume, balance, channels, sample rate, and more for your devices, right from SoundSource.• Settings Lock: Prevent unintended or unwanted changes to your devices. Finally, you can stop VoIP apps like Zoom from messing with your input volume level!• Max Volume: Save your ears by limiting output to an ear-protecting maximum volume level.• Adjust Device Appearance: Set device nicknames and custom icons in the “Audio Devices” window, to easily identify your devices within SoundSource.• Hide Devices: Prevent unwanted audio devices from appearing in SoundSource’s menus by hiding them with the control found in the “Audio Devices” window’s device left-hand list. When a device is hidden, SoundSource will also attempt to prevent the system from using it.

Versatile System-Wide Keyboard Shortcuts
User-configurable keyboard shortcuts enable you to control your Mac’s audio from anywhere:• Create a “Cough” Button: Podcasters and video callers alike can make a system-wide “cough” button to mute the mic. Just assign a “Toggle Mute” keyboard shortcut, then press it to instantly mute.• Per-App Volume Control: Assign keyboard shortcuts for volume controls right in the app’s “Options” section, then adjust volume levels and muting from anywhere.• Switch Devices: Assign “Set as System Output” and “Set as System Input” keyboard shortcuts, then use them for instant device switching.

Major Automation Enhancements
SoundSource now offers even more controls for automating things with Apple’s Shortcuts system, including:• A new “Get Mute Status” action• A new “Get Source Volume” action• A new “Get Source Named” action• A new “Set Effect Parameter” action• The “Set Volume” action now has the option to increase or decrease by a percentage.• The “Open/Close Effect Window” action includes a new “Toggle” option, to reverse the current visibility of the effect.

Set Your Preferred Device Order
With the new “Preferred Device Order” control in the “Audio Devices” window, SoundSource will ensure that when one device disappears, the next one your Mac uses is exactly what you want.

Prevent Sound Quality Issues with AirPods and Other Bluetooth Devices
When Bluetooth devices like AirPods are used for input on your Mac, the audio quality of their output is unfortunately diminished. You can get much better sound quality by setting these devices to be used exclusively for output, in SoundSource’s “Audio Devices” window.

Multi-Channel Support
Multi-channel audio processing is fully supported for all common channel configurations. With this enhancement, Super Volume Keys can control volume across all channels of a device, and audio effects that support multi-channel configurations are fully functional.

Timed Mute
Mute ads or other annoying audio for variable time lengths. When the time has elapsed, SoundSource will fade the audio back in.

New “Balance & Pan” Effect
A new built-in “Balance & Pan” effect makes it possible to adjust the relative volumes of the left and right channels from any app (Balance), or direct all audio to the left or right channels (Pan).

New “Preamp” in “10-Band EQ”
The built-in “10-Band EQ” effect now features a preamp.

Recent Noise Indicator
What’s making noise on your Mac? SoundSource can help you figure it out! When an app produces audio, it will show in SoundSource’s “Applications” section for 60 seconds, with a highlight on its level meters.

Per-App Menu Bar Icons
You can now control exactly which applications display their audio activity in the menu bar, with per-app menu bar icon controls. Find them in the app’s “Options” section in SoundSource’s main window.

An Adjustable Menu Bar Icon
In SoundSource 6, users new and old alike will see a new default menu bar icon. This icon can be adjusted in the “Appearance” tab of SoundSource’s “Settings” window. Match the system’s “Sound” icon, show the connected output device, or use SoundSource’s custom icon. You decide!

Change SoundSource’s Appearance Between Eight Colors
With the brand-new “Accent Color” setting, SoundSource’s appearance can be set to one of eight lovely colors. It can also be set to follow the global MacOS accent color, as set in the “Appearance” System Setting.

New In-Line Controls
The new “Options” areas in SoundSource’s main window provide access to useful toggles for menu bar display and meters, as well as configuring global keyboard shortcuts.

Favorite Effects
Mark audio effects as “Favorites”, for even faster and easier access.

Faster Access to Audio Effect Presets
Effects presets are now accessible right from the main interface, in addition to the effect’s popover.

Enhanced Audio Unit Management
The “Audio Units” section now sorts by manufacturer, making it easier to find your desired effects.

Use “Headphone EQ” on a Per-App Basis
The built-in Headphone EQ effect can now be applied to specific applications, as well as to the system’s default output.

Support for the “RoundTripAAC” Audio Unit
SoundSource now includes support for Apple’s “RoundTripAAC” effect. This makes it easy to preview exactly how your audio will sound after AAC compression, useful for mastering workflows targeting the “Mastered for iTunes” certification.

Optionally Force a Software Volume Control
Some audio devices claim to offer volume adjustment, even when they don’t. Force a software volume control onto these little rascals, right from the “Audio Devices” window.

A New “Alerts” Window
SoundSource’s new “Alerts” window collects errors and notices in one place for easy reference.

ARK Plugin Updated to 13
The ARK plugin which powers SoundSource’s audio handling has been updated to version 13.0. This update is faster and more reliable, with important updates that power new functionality in SoundSource 6.

When audio is unmuted, SoundSource unfades it in a swift and pleasing fashion.

SoundSource’s secondary menu (accessed by control-clicking the SoundSource icon in the menu bar) has been overhauled and refined. This alternate menu now has a larger volume slider, and Inputs are shown at all times.

MacOS’s “Play feedback when volume is changed” setting can be adjusted from the “General” tab of SoundSource’s “Settings” window.

The “Compact” view has long been able to narrow SoundSource’s width. Now, the height of the main window is fully user-resizable.

Menu bar icons for individual audio applications look better than ever.

Audio Effects now better present both “User Presets” and any built-in presets. User-defined presets are now prioritized for easier access.

SoundSource now provides better visuals for Macs which have no input device connected, such as the Mac Mini.

The spacing of the app’s menu bar icon has been improved to avoid wasted space.

Menu bar meter readability on secondary displays has been improved.

SoundSource respects the system-wide “Reduce Motion” setting (found in “System Settings” > “Accessibility” > “Display”).

When an Effect is pinned, clicking it in the main interface no longer reattaches it. Instead, it helpfully animates to show itself on-screen.

The visuals when editing preset names have been greatly improved.

The loading of visual interfaces for Audio Units has been improved.

The main window’s “Excluded” area, which shows applications added to SoundSource’s list of “Excluded Applications”, has been improved in several ways. Apps can now be excluded by dragging them from the main “Applications” area to “Excluded”. Likewise, audio processing can be restored by dragging an app from “Excluded” back to “Applications”.

On Tahoe, it’s possible to block an application from appearing in MacOS’s menu bar, with the “Allow in the Menu Bar” setting in the “Menu Bar” section of System Settings. As SoundSource is solely a menu bar application, this would be rather counter-productive, and we certainly don’t recommend it. But now, if you block it, the app’s main window will still appear when you open the application from the Finder or Dock.

SoundSource’s main window now correctly closes itself when a second display is clicked.

When SoundSource’s main window is pinned open, it now works better with MacOS’s “Spaces” feature.

If an application stops playback abruptly, reverb effect tails are no longer cut short.

Custom profiles should now work as expected in the “Headphone EQ” effect.

A 0% volume setting now always correctly shows as muted.

If you’re silly enough to give a 10-Band EQ preset the name “Manual”, it will now appear as expected. Really, though, don’t do that.

Editing popover nicknames now works as expected, even on effects with narrow interfaces.

SoundSource’s helpful “Significant delay…” warning no longer displays unnecessarily when effects are turned off.

To avoid undesired or unintended audio adjustments, the “VoiceOver” application is now excluded from SoundSource by default. Users who wish to use VoiceOver with SoundSource (adjusting VoiceOver’s volume or its output device, or having it appear in the menu bar or SoundSource’s main window) may still do so, but will first need to remove it from the “Excluded Applications” list, found in the “Audio” tab of the “Settings” window.

The global hotkey is now labeled as “Show/Hide SoundSource”, which is better and more accurate, since it does both.

It’s now experimentally possible to have multiple “Details” sections open for both Applications and Devices. To do this, hold the Option key while clicking on the disclosure arrow for a section.

Improvements have been made to the warning SoundSource shows when audio effects will cause notable latency. It now specifies which specific effects are contributing to the issue, and when the warning is visible on screen, you can hover over it for full details. In addition, when an effect is adding a delay, SoundSource now reports delay when you hover over the effect.

If sound effects are muted, SoundSource will no longer redundantly warn you that the device to which “Sound Effects” are set to play is muted.

The “Show blocked third-party Audio Units” hidden setting has been removed, as SoundSource no longer blocks any Audio Units.

SoundSource 6 Is for MacOS 15 and Higher
SoundSource 6 supports MacOS 15 and higher. If you’re on MacOS 14 or lower, you’ll want to download SoundSource 5 from our Legacy Software page.
