Loopback’s Permissions window

Audio Routing Kit (ARK) Required

Loopback uses the ARK plugin to route audio on your Mac according to your configuration. To use Loopback, you must install ARK. This installation will require the administrator password for your Mac.

System Audio Access (for ARK) Required

Once installed, ARK needs system audio access to enable you to route audio on your Mac. This access is required for Loopback to operate, and you’ll be prompted to grant permission the first time you launch the app.

Microphone Access (for ARK) Required

ARK also needs microphone access to enable you to route audio on your Mac. This access is required for Loopback to operate, and you’ll be prompted to grant permission the first time you launch the app.
