SoundSource: A Superior Sound Control
SoundSource is a handy tool for MacOS designed to give you fast access to all your critical audio settings. From SoundSource's menu bar icon, you can adjust your Input, Output and Sound Effects devices and volume settings in mere moments. SoundSource's Play-Thru window also enables the soft play-thru of audio from input devices, enabling you to hear audio coming in through a microphone or any other audio device.
