With SoundSource’s new Output Groups, you can route audio to multiple outputs at once. Create a custom group in the Output Groups window, and you can select it from any output selector within SoundSource. Use groups with both per-app audio and your Mac’s entire output.
SoundSource has added powerful support for AirPlay streaming to HomePods, Sonos systems, and other wireless outputs. 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.
You can now access extensive settings for every audio device on your Mac, right within SoundSource. Adjust maximum volume level, channels, balance, sample rate, hotkeys, and more, all in one convenient window.
Save complete audio configurations for your Mac, based on different devices or locations. Load specific effects, change volume levels, and more, then instantly switch your Mac’s entire audio setup with a single click.
Use the Preferred Device Order control in the Audio Devices window, to ensure that when one device disappears, the next one used is exactly what you want.
What’s making that noise on your Mac? SoundSource can help you figure it out. When an app produces audio, it will show in the Applications list for 60 seconds, with an outlined level meter.
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).
The built-in Headphone EQ effect can now be applied to specific applications, in addition to the system’s default output.
Apple’s RoundTripAAC effect is now supported. Preview exactly how audio will sound after AAC compression. It’s great for mastering workflows targeting the “Mastered for iTunes” certification.
The renowned 10-band Lagutin Equalizer has been helping users for decades. For the first time ever, it features a preamp.
When Bluetooth devices like AirPods are used for input, output audio quality is unfortunately diminished. Get much better sound quality by adjusting their mode to Output Only in the Audio Devices window.
Prevent unwanted changes to your settings in the Audio Devices window. Finally, you can stop VoIP apps like Zoom from messing with your input volume level.
SoundSource has even more options for automating with Shortcuts, including new “Get Mute Status”, “Get Source Volume”, “Get Source Named”, and “Set Effect Parameter” actions.
Prevent unwanted audio devices from appearing in SoundSource’s menus by hiding them in the Audio Devices window. When a device is hidden, SoundSource will also attempt to prevent the system from using it.
Limit a device to a specific maximum volume level in the Audio Devices window.
Adjust the balance of any audio device on your Mac, with the new Balance slider in the Audio Devices window.
Some audio devices claim to offer volume adjustment, even when they don’t. Force a software volume control onto these lying little buggers, right from the Audio Devices window.
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.
The alternate menu (accessed by control-clicking SoundSource’s menu bar icon) has a larger volume slider, and always-visible inputs.
Mark an effect as a favorite, and it will appear at the top of the list for easy access. Your custom effects presets are also now more easily accessed.
Visual interfaces for Audio Units load more smoothly and reliably. Audio Units are also sorted by their manufacturer for easier browsing.
Multi-channel processing is fully supported for all common channel configurations. Super Volume Keys can control volume across all channels of a device, and effects that support multi-channel configs are fully functional.
With the brand-new Accent Color setting, SoundSource’s appearance can be set to one of eight lovely colors, or made to match the global MacOS accent color.
Change SoundSource’s app menu bar icon to suit your needs. Match the system’s “Sound” icon, show the connected output device, or use SoundSource’s custom icon. You decide!
You don’t have to show all active applications in the menu bar. Instead, control exactly which individual apps display their activity up there.
Use new device nicknames and custom device icons to easily identify your devices within SoundSource.
Assign Set as System Output and Set as System Input keyboard shortcuts, then use them for instantaneous device switching.
Assign keyboard shortcuts for volume controls in any app’s Options section, then adjust volume levels and muting from anywhere.
MacOS’s “Play feedback when volume is changed” setting can be adjusted from the “General” tab of SoundSource’s “Settings” window.
In addition to the “Compact” view which narrows SoundSource’s width, the height of the main window is now user-resizable.
When an effect is pinned, clicking it in the main interface no longer reattaches it. Instead, it helpfully alerts you to its location on the screen.
