macOS High Sierra: Audio doesn't get routed through Soundflower #238

Open nershman opened 3 years ago

This probably isn't an issue, but I'm curious why it happens.

I'm using Soundflower (https://github.com/RogueAmoeba/Soundflower-Original), which routes audio from applications through the app and then back to system audio so one can directly record audio output.

How is MilkyTracker handling audio differently which causes audio from the application not to get routed through Soundflower?

Update: It seems that the audio output source doesn't get updated unless the application is restarted.

I suspect this is happening because the new output source selected is still using the same audio driver, so when this code is reached in MasterMixer.cpp:

    // Same instance, don't allocate new audio driver
        if (audioDriver == newAudioDriver)
                return result;

..the function returns without re-initialising the driver.

This should probably be considered a bug.
