Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Reinstalling latest version
2. Double clicking the application icon
3. Appears to launch, but never opens to the menu

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The application should launch and a menu for Soundflowerbed appear

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
10.6.X

Please provide any additional information below.
Removed older version with the uninstall script, and installed the newer 
version. Neither seem to launch to a menu/app state.

I too cannot get SoundFlowerBed to start

It flashes temporarily in the menu bar and then closes 

Product version: Soundflower-1.6.6b & Soundflower-1.6.5 tested
Mac OS X: 10.8.2

I've attached the crash log which seems to indicate an invalid parameter is at 
fault

Just to add, SoundFlower itself appears to be working ok as I can route audio 
from say iTunes to Ableton Live without issue

Resolved my issue discussed above by deleting 

~/Library/Preferences/com.cycling74.Soundflowerbed.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.cycling74.Soundflowerbed.plist.lockfile

I am having the same issue - soundflowerbed opens in the menu bar for a second 
& then disappears. I am not finding the plist files mentioned in p#5 above. 
Soundflower is working correctly though. OSX 10.8.4/soundflower 1.6.6b/13" MBP 
mid 2010

Won't open it for me. Tried adding it to the dock and opening from there but 
nothing, doesn't open at all. It doesn't even show up on the task bar. Tried 
looking for the plist files too but couldn't find them either.

System Version: OS X 10.9.2
MBPr 15' Late 2013 model

Soundflower icon appears, but clicking on it will not open the program.  Is 
there a solution?

Someone please solve this issue. j.dale38's solution did not work for me. Tried 
installing different versions all different ways but the program still will not 
launch. Just flashes in the menu bar.

I too am having the same issue, flashes on the menu bar then disappears. I have 
the latest version of the software  (1.6.6b) but I'm running OSX 10.7.5. As far 
as I can tell, soundflower still works routing internally from Youtube to 
Ableton for example, but without soundflowerbed I have no way of selecting 
routing options etc. 
Any more news on a fix? j.dale38's fix doesn't appear to work for me as those 
files aren't in my Library /Preferences/ folder

I got it working, but in a retarded way. Go to your Sound Preferences in Your 
System Preferences, under 'Output' choose 'Soundflower (2ch).  Then use 
Quicktime Player's 'New Audio Recording'.  Play whatever it is you want to 
record from your desktop.  You'll see sound levels in the 'New Audio 
Recording'window, but you won't hear anything.  When you're done recording, 
switch the Output back to Headphones or whatever you had it set to 
before....and you've got your recorded sound. You'll have a .m4a audio file (an 
.aif would be too easy right!) so use your convertor of choice.  I have the 
best - Wondershare Ultimate.  Convert it to aif. Voila!

I hope this helps someone out there who is battling with this retarded, 
unreliable, complicated method of doing something that should be so simple.  
Fuck you Apple! :)

I found a workaround as well using audacity.  Same as Paulcard.  Change OUTPUT 
and Input in the mac system/sound settings to Soundflower (2ch) and INPUT on 
audacity to Soundflower (2ch).  Doesn't matter what the output on the audacity 
is.  Record your  youtube or whatever.  You will see soundwave patterns on the 
audacity window but won't hear anything.

When you're done change the output back to your speakers and you'll hear it.
