You can also adjust the volume for each audio source individually.Īnother neat feature is Play-Thru, which lets you choose an audio input and play the sound through a selected output. Click its icon and you’ll see options to choose your output device, input device, and which device should be used for system sounds. Like Volume, SoundSource lives in your menu bar. On the next page, enter the email, license name, and license code associated with your Rogue Amoeba product, and click Submit. If you’re eligible for a free copy, go to the SoundSource page, click Purchase, and then on the next page click Learn More under Get a Complimentary SoundSource License. Otherwise, it’s only $10, and a free trial is available.

If you own a license to a current version of one of Rogue Amoeba’s other apps, you can register SoundSource for free. It’s actually an update to a long-dormant utility first published in the early 2000s. (Not seeing the Volume icon in the menu bar? Enable it by selecting Show Volume in Menu Bar in System Preferences > Sound.)īut if you want even quicker access to sound-related preferences, Rogue Amoeba, masters of all things audio on the Mac, have a souped-up alternative for you: SoundSource 3. Now if you Option-click it, you can also quickly switch between audio inputs.

Previously, you had to Option-click the Volume icon to see those controls. In macOS 10.12 Sierra, Apple enhanced the Volume menu available from the speaker menu bar icon, making it easy to change volume and switch between audio outputs.
