Can't add "EqMac" to allowed items to stop banners from showing

[0xAdriaTorralba]

EqMac make creates a new sound and microphone profile that OverSight detect it as "recording".

On the banner, I can't add this process to the allowed items. Is there any other way to add a process to the allowed items outside of clicking the banner and pressing "Allow"?

I am having the same issue whenever audio is played. I am piping my audio through Boom 3D, and I get a notification that pops up telling me that BoomAudio became active. However, I cannot add it to the Allow list.

I was able to manually edit my allow list by installing a .plist editor (I used PlistEdit Pro), and editing the config plist at: /Users/${USERNAME}/Library/Preferences/com.objective-see.oversight.plist.

That allowed me to add apps/processes to the allowlist that are not otherwise add-able via the Oversight UI.

@whispy , could you share the code you added to the preference file? Thanks!

@0xAdriaTorralba, could you help me with that?

I ended up unsintalling that, I'm sorry I can't help with that :(

@voa257, here's a screenshot of my plist edits

Thank you, @whispy. I understand how the plist file functions now. The issue is that, on my computer, the eqMac process triggering Oversight appears as "unknown." Consequently, I cannot add a plist entry with a regular processpath (i.e. /Applications/WhatsApp.app/Contents/MacOS/WhatsApp). The path "/Applications/eqMac.app/Contents/MacOS/eqMac" is not the one that should be added to Oversight plist. Instead, I had to add the processpath "unknown" to prevent the banners. However, I don't believe this is advisable or the best solution, as other processes (potentially undesired ones) could also appear as "unknown.

Are you sure that adding the eqMac path doesn't silence the Oversight banners? My processes were appearing as "unknown" also, but manually adding the path of suspected applications silenced the "unknown" triggers.
