With this process we have learned to completely uninstall Soundflower from macOS. Now we execute the following: sudo rm -rf /var/db/receipts/.*įinally we are going to execute the following command in the macOS terminal: sudo rm -rf /Applications/Soundflowerįinally, we must reboot the system to avoid problems with the audio drivers when Soundflower has been uninstalled from the system: It allows applications to pass audio to another as Soundflower does. BlackHole is a virtual audio driver that is modernly designed for macOS. Fortunately, we still have an alternative: BlackHole and it seems to work better. Soundflower is easy to use, it simply presents itself as an audio device, allowing any audio application to send and receive audio with no other support needed. It is designed to create a virtual audio output device which is also able to work as an input device. I am sorry to see a great program Soundflower is no longer working with macOS 10.15 Catalina.
Next, we will use the following command in the terminal: sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/Soundflower* Soundflower is a Mac OS X system extension that allows applications to pass audio to other applications. Then we are going to execute the following command: sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext Loopback can combine audio from both application sources and audio input devices, then make it available anywhere on your Mac. With the power of Loopback, it's easy to pass audio from one application to another.
Therefore, if you have Soundflower on macOS, TechnoWikis will explain how to uninstall it completely:įor this process we will go to the terminal and first of all we execute the following: sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/Soundflower.kext LOOPBACK Cable-free audio routing for Mac. In case of using the 16 channels, it is possible to carry out the audio environment emulation in more complex environments, this makes it possible to use it with more than two applications simultaneously, but the Soundflower support has lost little by little robustness since it has passed to other owners and its design has been partly lost. This extension has been developed by Cycling '74 and with Soundflower it is possible to emulate an audio device with either 2 or 16 channels. Soundflower has been developed as an open source kernel extension to macOS operating systems, and its function is to facilitate the creation of a virtual audio output device but which is also capable of acting as an input medium.
