The Latest SoundSource Brings Two Major Advances

We’ve recently updated our sound control utility SoundSource, and it’s a big leap forward. On top of a wealth of assorted improvements and bug fixes, there are two notable advances.
First, SoundSource is now dramatically simpler to install on your Mac. There’s no longer any need to adjust startup security settings, nor even restart your Mac a single time. You can get started in seconds.
Second, SoundSource has support for MacOS 15 (Sequoia). If you’ve already updated your Mac to Sequoia, you can now run SoundSource on it.
You can download the latest right from the SoundSource product page. For more details about this update, read on.
Simplified Setup
SoundSource is now powered by our next-generation audio capture backend, “ARK”. Thanks to ARK, you can start using SoundSource in under a minute, with a new, streamlined setup process.
When you launch SoundSource on MacOS 14.5 and higher1, the app will walk you through the necessary setup. With a few clicks, you’ll install the ARK plugin, grant the necessary permissions, and be up and running.

This change is the result of many months of development, as extensive work was required to overhaul the app’s backend. Despite those huge changes under the hood, we worked diligently to ensure existing users experience minimal changes in functionality. SoundSource remains the most powerful utility for audio adjustment on your Mac, and now, getting started with it is a snap.
Update SoundSource Now

If you’re already a SoundSource user, all you need to do is choose Check for Updates from the SoundSource menu to update to the latest version for your system.
If you’re not currently using SoundSource, visit the product page to learn more and download the free trial. It’s never been so easy to take control of all the audio on your Mac.

Footnotes:

The new audio capture backend requires MacOS 14.5 or higher, so SoundSource currently has two variants, with nearly identical functionality. On MacOS 14.5 and up, SoundSource 5.7.1 is the current version, while MacOS 14.4.1 and lower uses SoundSource 5.6.4.
You don’t have to worry about that, however. All you have to do is download, and SoundSource will take care of making sure you have the right variant for your Mac. ↩︎
