SoundSource: The Sound Control That Should Be Built Into MacOS

Update (March 26th, 2019): Just over two years later, we released an overhauled SoundSource 4. With this update, the app grew into a fully-featured system-wide audio control utility.

SoundSource now includes the ability to control audio on per-application basis, and add effects to any audio. Worth noting, the play-thru functionality found SoundSource 3 was removed from versions 4 and up. Learn more about SoundSource here.

Today, we’re pleased to unveil SoundSource, a tremendously handy new tool offering fast access to all your Mac’s critical sound settings!

From SoundSource’s menu bar icon, you can instantly configure the audio devices your Mac uses for Input, Output and Sound Effects. In seconds, you can adjust the volume for each of your audio devices or switch between connected devices. SoundSource can also enable the soft play-thru of audio from input devices. Use the Play-Thru window to monitor any connected input, such as a microphone, right through your headphones or other output.

SoundSource is a superior sound control in a tremendously convenient package. It tucks out of your way in the menu bar until you need it, then provides easy access to swap audio devices, adjust volumes, and more. It’s the sound control that should be built into MacOS, now available from Rogue Amoeba.1
