Having same problem. Mac Pro 3,1 2008. OS X 10.6.4. Tried different Soundflower 
versions -- all fail to install. Even though, I had a 1.4.1 version installed 
before. Deleted it, but still no effect. Even 1.4.1 won't install anymore.

Here's the log file from Console (attached).

Getting the same problem on OS X 10.6.5. Strange...just recently upgraded from 
10.5 and never had any problems til now.

Some logs when trying to run with nicecast:

12/12/10 12:28:03 PM    [0x0-0x7f77f7].com.rogueamoeba.Nicecast[12517]  chmod:

12/12/10 12:28:14 
PM  [0x0-0x7f77f7].com.rogueamoeba.Nicecast[12517]  /System/Library/Extensions/Sou
ndflower.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) authentication failure (file 
ownership/permissions); check the system/kernel logs for errors or try 
kextutil(8).

I checked the Extensions directory and see that Soundflower.kext is in fact 
there, with permissions and ownership set as:
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel

Seems right. Any ideas?

I had the same problem. The resolved the issue by compiling the source. You 
will need Xcode installed. I attached the log. Worked like a charm.

I'm getting a similar problem in that the Soundflower folder is in my 
Applications folder, but it is empty.

The installer runs through fine and a search for 'soundflower' returns a whole 
bunch of BOM and PLIST files.

I've run it several times with the same result.
Version 1.5.2 OSX 10.6.7

Have you checked in System Preferences/Sound/Output or Input?  The Soundflower 
folder within Applications also appears empty from Finder on my mac.  But, when 
I checked for contents via the Terminal, I was able to see files in the folder.

Soundflowerbed install and runs ok but I get:
" Soundflower Is Not Installed!! " in the first line of the soundflowerbed men.

Dear ostrac...@live.co.uk try restarting your Mac. Soundflower will appear then 
on the system preference audio input section.

I get the same results. It would appear to install correctly but Soundflowerbed 
reports "Soundflower is not installed" and I don't have the soundflower audio 
devices. 

HOWEVER, if I use screenflick to install Soundflower then it installs/works 
just fine.

I believe this issue should be resolved in the just-released version 1.6 
release candidate.  If you download that, run the uninstall script to be 
certain that all potentially conflicting remnants are cleared, and then run the 
new installer, it should work.

Can anyone confirm?  Thanks!

I was so excited to see this post since I have been scrambling all day to 
understand what is wrong.  However, unfortunately this didn't fix the problem 
for me.  I am running OS X 10.7.3 and my symptom is that Soundflowerbed in the 
menu bar (still) shows that "Soundflower is Not installed."  I downloaded RC 
1.6, used the uninstall script from that download, restarted my machine, 
installed 1.6, started Soundflowerbed from the folder in apps & then I got the 
error message.  Checked the version and it shows 1.6.0.  LineIn still does not 
list Soundflower (2ch) either.

Same issue here. I've tried the two most recent versions, both with the same 
results. I get a unaccessible folder in my applications folder, and an 
unaccessible folder in my extensions folder. I am the only administrator, and 
am running a 15" MBP with OSX 10.7.3. Any thoughts???

Okay -- more fixes in the just uploaded 1.6.1 installer.  This should at least 
help with comment #18.

Regarding comment #16, it is not clear what is wrong.  Restarting after 
installing Soundflower might help (as opposed to restarting before, if I 
understood you correctly).  Maybe there are some error messages in the system 
console that would help?

Fixed Error "Soundflower is not installed".

After installing from the 1.6.1 installer package, I got the same error note 
when launching Soundflowerbed - "Soundflower is not installed".  Navigated to  
/System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext  and changed the permissions on 
wheel to "Read Only" instead of "Read & Write".  I then restarted my machine 
and everything was fixed.  Seems to work fine now.

10.6.7 Soundflower 1.6.1 - tried the permissions change, restarted. Still the 
same error. Must be time to take a bike ride Tim.

Alright, got it fixed. Changed permission of wheel to "Read Only" on all files 
in Contents of Soundflower.kext (Show Contents). Then "sudo kextload 
/System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext" in Terminal.

Since my last posts (16&17) I have some more info.  I updated the 10.7.3 Lion 
installation with sound flower 1.6.1 with the same results.  I then tried 
changing permissions & restarting  as others have but this did not help me.  In 
parallel, and for other reasons, I upgraded my mini from Snow Leopard to Lion 
10.7.3 without migrating to 1.6.1, instead staying with 1.6.0 and to my 
surprise the problem was resolved for that installation.  I checked permissions 
(which I had not done prior) and noticed that wheel is read only in that (now) 
working configuration.  The permissions is clearly not the complete story.  If 
I can provide more useful information to help debug this problem please advise. 
 Thanks, Paul

P.S.  You mentioned system console output.  I don't think this is helpful but 
here it is for launching and closing SoundFlowerBed a couple of times

I was having the same issues, and used the process outlined in Comment 23 (i.e. 
change all wheel permissions to read-only, then "sudo kextload 
/System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext" and bingo!  Soundflower showed up. 
 Thanks!

Change permissions of wheel to Read Only in

run "sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext"
Works!

You must use the -R option when changing the group permissions of 
Soundflower.kext or none of the internal files will get chmoded 

sudo chmod -R g-w /System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext

then,

sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext

For all those who have had the permissions problem (i.e. needed to change the 
"wheel" group to non-writable), I've just uploaded a version 1.6.2 which I 
believe should solve that problem.

Thanks both for your patience and for the great reports which made it clear how 
to fix it and workaround it!

Regarding comment #24 and #26: Thanks for the console log lines.  The second 
batch holds the answer:

Kext com.Cycling74.driver.Soundflower class SoundflowerEngine is a 
duplicate;kext com.senstic.driver.PocketAudioDevice already has a class by that 
name.

This basically says that "com.senstic.driver.PocketAudioDevice" has Soundflower 
functions included inside of it.  They would have to rename the functions in 
order for their product to not conflict with Soundflower.

A quick search of the Senstic website doesn't make it obvious that they are 
crediting Soundflower or providing the source code for their application, which 
they are required to do with the GNU GPL license of Soundflower.  I sure hope 
they are not in violation of the license terms!

Installed version 1.6.2 this afternoon but got message not installed after

and comment 33, it is working again, even after reboot. Thanks also for this 
nice tool to make possible for recording some Google translations.

Indeed, installed 1.6.2 from the website this afternoon and suffered the same 
symptoms until following the instructions in #33, and now it works like a 
charm. Is this fixed by the most recent github commit 
(b0b1b30d0311afa3053bcdb3f484486e1e06aec3)?

Original comment by mas...@gmail.com on 11 Feb 2012 at 6:59

Yes, it should be fixed in that Github commit.  

That commit is present in the Github download ( 
https://github.com/tap/Soundflower/downloads ) and should also be present in 
the GoogleCode downloads, but maybe that download was not updated correctly?  
The two downloads should be identical.

I can't get it to work with any of these suggestions or either download. I am 
running 10.7.3 and I think it stopped working after the most recent OSX 
software update, but I am not sure. 

Been uninstalling, reinstalling, restarting, kextloading all to no avail. Still 
get "Soundflower Is Not Installed!!" in Soundflowerbed and no Soundflower 
option in System Preferences or in the application folder. When installing 
Soundflower it seems to skip the Destination Select portion of the installer. 

Let me know if I can provide anything to help figure this out. I would love to 
get this working as I use Splashtop Streamer all of the time. 

Thanks!

Step 1: Open your Utilities folder and open Terminal (you'll get a small, white 
window with some text in it.)
Step 2: Copy and paste this into the window and then press Return:  

sudo chmod -R g-w /System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext

Step 3: You may have to enter your Mac (administrator) password and press Return

Step 4: Copy and paste this into the window and then press Return:

sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext

Step 5: Open/re-open Soundflower or Soundflowerbed. Should be working.
