Soundflower could not find in sound preference in OS X 10.11 beta 1

[denilson1]

All Soundflower driver is missing after upgrade to OS X 10.11 beta 1

[mattingalls]

i haven't installed 10.1, but they might have disallowed all KEXTs in /System folder. (you probably need a signed version installed in /Library/Extensions/ -- i have one here you can try: https://github.com/mattingalls/Soundflower/releases)

[LucaTNT]

You need to disable kext signing

sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"

If it doesn't work, try disabling rootless as well

sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1 rootless=0"

It worked for me in the developer previews.

Hello to all. Will an update to fix this problem be out before or maybe a little after el capitan is released? I'm using the gm and have not tested. I'm using the sound flower release from 2013, the one that used to be up on google codes, not this one so wonder if the fix will still work until an update is released ether on github or Rogue Ameba's site. I'll try the fix until then.

thanks.

Hey Team,

Any update on this issue? I'm trying to install 1.6.6b on El Capitan 10.11 using the suggestions here and I can't get it working. Really need this plugin and without it I'm not able to upgrade my system.

Thanks!

[marrie]

The suggestion of turning off driver signing for that app does not work? I mean telling apple to ignore it? I dunno if attachments will go through but here is a script you can run from the terminal.

If that fails here is a [dropbox link.](https://www.dropbox.com/s/xiatevblsr2rn3x/sffix.sh?dl=1 <https://www.dropbox.com/s/xiatevblsr2rn3x/sffix.sh?dl=1)

either that or ask apple to sign sound flower's drivers so it can work in time for el capitan's release. Those drivers have not been signed in a while, if ever, I dn't think.

Hi Marrie,

Yes, I used that and re-installed, allowed for unsigned installation, and on reboot was still unable to find SoundFlower in the audio settings. I'm using this on a Mac Mini Server Late 2009. It was working on Yosemite.

For now, I'm just bridgeding the audio ports with a 3.5mm Mini audio cable. X(

[marrie]

I hope they can fix this as soon as possible. I use sound flower for my audio productions and demos. I really don't want to be delayed in those, not for my clients' sakes anyway.

Take care.

[esaruoho]

I'm running OS X El Capitan 10.11 Beta (15A278b) and unfortunately unable to use Soundflower (or Jack! :D ) so am very stuck there.

I hope Soundflower can somehow work on El Capitan before El Capitan goes public.

SoundFlowerbed says "Soundflower is Not Installed!" after installing Soundflower.

[marrie]

Agreed. I'm in panic mode, because I'm supposed to be producing demo tutorials for the blind regarding El Capitan, and I kind of can't. I'm really hoping there can be a fix.

This works for me on the GM: https://lucazorzi.net/media/Soundflower/Soundflower.zip

Extract in /System/Library/Extensions, then

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions # Forces a refresh of the kext caches

And reboot.

Of course you must have disabled SIP (aka rootless) and allowed unsigned kexts before attempting to do this.

[marrie]

I will give it a try, but, in the end, sound flower needs to come up with a fix that a non-computer geek could do.

Looks like Rogue Amoeba is working on a similar product: http://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/ http://weblog.rogueamoeba.com/2015/08/08/beta-test-a-brand-new-app/

[mattingalls]

@marrie -- did you try installing a signed copy in /Library/Extensions/ (NOT in /System/.. !)-- i have one here you can try: https://github.com/mattingalls/Soundflower/releases - let me know if it works

[marrie]

Actually the copy I downloaded 4 years ago still works in yosemite. just not el capitan. Got it from the google codes project when it was hosted there and have not updated since. I'll look at this one though, and I'm using el capitan btw not yosemite for this test.

Thanks, it worked beautifully. Now let's hope they fix the one up now, or this loop thing will do what sound flower does.

[haleyngonadi]

Ah, worked for me as well... It kept saying error but somehow it shows up even with that. Thank you!

[J-Wick4]

Matt, that worked 100% Excellent job, 1,000,000 beer trucks to your house!!

[marrie]

Lol. any way to merge this in to the latest that rogue amiba has? or can that not be done.

Take care.

[briancalderon]

Why does the audio get obliterated and then just play some strange beep/buzz/whatever sound when I try to open League of Legends? I can get Soundflower to run—but the audio is squeaky and opening the game breaks the audio output completely.

[bryanbrey]

MAHALO FROM HAWAII MATT!!!! IT WORKED!!! Finally got my SoundPimp.com audio enhancement working...

[marrie]

I heard they just released sound flower 2.0 that works on el capitan. Where can this be gotten from? on this github page I hope?

Blessings and happy Sunday

[mattbisme]

I can confirm that the signed version by @mattingalls appears to be working on the version of El Capitan released today. Only did a quick trial with Audio Hijack, but so far so good.

[marrie]

Yeah I confirmed that in the gm release, can't really test with the real release as I'm in the middle of teaching class right now but hope to upgrade tomorrow with out issues. I'm excited.

[zarroyorosa]

Hey Im trying to choose on the sunflower to use my headsets and every time I try to click on it the icon from sound flower disappears

[marrie]

Choose it from output menu in system prefs. or your recording ssoftware. don't ever use the app.

Take care.

Thanks @marrie. However, its a disappointment that we can't use sunflower like before.

[marrie]

Yeah you can. I've used sound flower this way for 5 years now. I never e teh app I jus route my sounds t ot then use line in to listen. it's simple really and very easy and intuative to use.

Take care.

[zarroyorosa]

@mattingalls @marrie is there any way I can listen to the audio on my headsets from soundflower and my computer audio from then built in speakers? this is how I used to do it before.

[UllswaterBen]

Hello - I'm very new to this but would really appreciate some help. I am trying to get Soundflower working with El Capitan 10.11.1 Beta (15B22c) - my son uses it to create youtube videos and distraught that it does not work any more!

As I read the comments above I understand that the version by @mattingalls should work - but I'm not smart enough to figure out what to do from the link.

I have downloaded the "Soundflower-master" folder from the link but not sure what to do from there.

Any help greatly appreciated - thank you!

[marrie]

Use line in. go to Rogue Amebia's main website and it's there under free software.

[r618]

@UllswaterBen - first of all uninstall existing installation of soundflower - there's an uninstall Automator script named "Uninstall Soundflower.scpt" in /Applications/Soundflower probably reboot ) @mattingalls build is here: https://github.com/mattingalls/Soundflower/releases download and install latest - 2.0b2 version -, reboot after this - sf drivers are now installed, but the build does not contain sounflowerbed ( the UI app ) dl and run install form http://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/soundflower/ , but install only soundflowerbed (not soundflower itself) after running soundflowerbed app you should now have it running as before

[alexwebs]

How do i disable SIP (aka rootless) and allowed unsigned kexts before attempting to do this.

[zarroyorosa]

You can disable the SIP by following this @alexwebs

I already did it and it works but you risk yourself of the possibility of malware. Also if by chance later on you want to have the Rootless again just do the same thing but type "csrutil enable"

[alexwebs]

do we also have to type this in the terminal ?

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions # Forces a refresh of the kext caches

[zarroyorosa]

No just "csrutil disable" that will disable completely the rootless and then after you restart your mac for the second time install sunflower from https://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/soundflower/ and it will work like always.

[mattbisme]

But you don't have to do any of that to get Soundflower working. Just uninstall and reinstall the new version: https://github.com/mattingalls/Soundflower/releases/tag/2.0b2

[zarroyorosa]

Here are the steps completely to disable rootless on mac - http://www.macworld.com/article/2986118/security/how-to-modify-system-integrity-protection-in-el-capitan.html

However, before these steps erased/uninstall sunflower and after you follow these steps re-install from https://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/soundflower/ like a normal app.

[worldsfinestdj]

If anyone is still experiencing this problem and is running El Captain on their Mac OSX please go to the link provided to see how to get sound flower back with no issues at all https://youtu.be/kyS7UG3wmb0

[elmagow]

@r618 Could you please explain how to just install soundflowerbed, after installing the new drivers. Thanks

[r618]

@elmagow just run the original installer and uncheck soundflower :) - you can choose the components to be installed

[elmagow]

@r618 Oh thanks! Didn't see the button to personalize the installer.

[perlus]

hi all, thank you Matt for your signed version.

I am running a beta of 10.11.1 and don't get Soundflower to run properly. The Extension seems to load. Soundflowerdbed loads. But when I change the output from soundflower via soundflowerbed (from release 1.66) to any possible target (such as the display port) Soundflowerbed crashes.

When trying to install 2.02b from github I get the warning, that the .pkg cannot be opened because it is not from a verified developer (I then give it the necessary rights through the security pane in system preferences).

Same symptoms when the csrutil option enabled or disabled.

Any thoughts?

And: is it possible to manually set soundflower's output? Like changing some line of code? For the time being I would be absolutely willing to do that, or possibly write a script wich changes the necessary lines.

Thank you.

[mattingalls]

i'm working on a new version (written from scratch) of Soundflowerbed. in the meantime, @perlus you could try creating a "multi output device" in the Audio MIDI Setup utility to map the output of soundflower to another device

[thank-you-matt]

Just wanted to send a huge thank you to Matt. I struggled with getting sound flower to work, even trying stuff very foreign to me that was way above my head. Yet your link and dmg worked PERFECTLY right from the start, and was the easiest thing I've installed on his mac. THX A TON. Really appreciated.

[bothkindsofmusic]

Thanks Matt - I installed El Capitan and went to record my radio show only to find soundflower didn't work. This was the first hit in my search as to why and your solution saved my butt!

[fredco]

Not to bicker, but this installer is not signed.

If the kext is signed, why not the installer?

[marrie]

The one that that I'm using is. I can't remember the link but it works now under El Capitan. At least the driver is signed.
