Basic installation- Unable to see audio device #21

Closed zzph closed 2 years ago

zzph commented 2 years ago

Hi there,

This looks great.

However, I can't get it to work. I'm wondering if I missed a step?

1) I downloaded SoundPusherAudio.driver.zip and extracted the folder to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL 2) I opened SoundPusher app

Under my Audio Devices, I don't see a new device. Also, the options in SoundPusher are greyed out.

Any ideas? I'm on Intel Mac, 11.5 (big Sur)

Cheers

I haven't tried this with SoundPusher myself, but you might need to restart CoreAudio to get it to load the driver.

sudo launchctl kickstart -k system/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod

Or restart your computer.

Gotcha, will give it a try. Ta

The installer does all that (it installs SoundPusher.app, the driver, and restarts coreaudiod).

So try the kickstart, if that doesn't work, try a reboot, if that doesn't work, try the installer.

(It would also be something iffy with code signing / notarization, but these are notoriously hard to test...)

I'm assuming you were able to solve this and there isn't an underlying issue.
