While these operating systems have their own specific strengths, I remain on the Mac because it arguably has the best third party applications and utilities. These programs often provide conveniences and powerful features that macOS itself does not include, which greatly simplifies and enhances my overall computing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of those applications is <a href=\"https:\/\/rogueamoeba.com\/soundsource\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SoundSource<\/a> ($39US), by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/rogueamoeba.com\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/rogueamoeba.com\" target=\"_blank\">Rogue Amoeba Software<\/a>.

On the left of its UI, are your system-wide and Applications. In the middle are volume controls, and on the right are the selectable audio devices.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>SoundSource gives Mac users control over their audio inputs and outputs. Best of all, you don&#8217;t need to be an audio expert to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you have a pair of external speakers and a set of headphones attached to your Mac. With SoundSource, you can quickly switch between the two, depending on your preference. While Apple now offers users similar capabilities within macOS Sonoma, SoundSource does so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SoundSource is all about flexibility: you can either choose to make system-wide audio settings, or independently control audio output levels on a per application basis. For example, you can set a medium volume output for Safari, while independently setting Spotify&#8217;s audio levels to a higher volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have additional audio gear attached to your Mac, SoundSource makes switching between your various inputs and outputs a breeze. In my use case, I&#8217;ve set my Zoom calls to automatically route to my Sony MDR-7506&#8217;s headphones upon launch. And when listening to my favorite rock tunes on Apple Music, I have SoundSource set to play audio through my mac Mini&#8217;s external speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1638\" height=\"916\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_inputs.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_inputs.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_inputs-215x120.jpg 215w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_inputs-284x159.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_inputs-190x106.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_inputs-1536x859.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_inputs-364x204.jpg 364w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_inputs-230x129.jpg 230w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_inputs-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_inputs-215x120@2x.jpg 430w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_inputs-284x159@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_inputs-190x106@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1638px) 100vw, 1638px\" \/><figcaption>SoundSource lets you quickly change your audio inputs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>SoundSource makes it very easy to redirect specific audio inputs on a per application basis as well.

When listening to the Podcast application, for example, you can set SoundSource to use the Spoken Word EQ to enhance your listening experience. There are also four levels of Volume Overdrive, which makes it possible to amplify application audio up to 400%, without unpleasant distortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another neat feature is Super Volume Keys. If you have a device that does not include intuitive volume keys (such as a display the comes with built-in speakers), SoundSource allows you to use your Mac keyboard&#8217;s volume up\/down buttons to control it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1084\" height=\"1124\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_General_Settings.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_General_Settings.jpg 1084w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_General_Settings-116x120.jpg 116w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_General_Settings-284x294.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_General_Settings-183x190.jpg 183w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_General_Settings-116x120@2x.jpg 232w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_General_Settings-284x294@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_General_Settings-183x190@2x.jpg 366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1084px) 100vw, 1084px\" \/><figcaption>Assign a custom hotkey to toggle SoundSource&#8217;s visibility. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>SoundSource lives in your menu bar.

When you have menu bar meters turned on, you can quickly mute your audio from the menu bar directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest version of SoundSource includes Headphone EQ, an effect that lets users optimize the sound for their specific model of headphones. Also new in version SoundSource version 5.x is new Shortcuts support. Users can integrate SoundSource within a Shortcuts workflow, to automate control. With SoundSource&#8217;s generous selection of customizable EQ settings, the audio from my Mac sounds much, much better to my ears. This makes listening to music and spoken word much more satisfying and enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1336\" height=\"1830\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_add_apps.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_add_apps.jpg 1336w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_add_apps-88x120.jpg 88w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_add_apps-236x323.jpg 236w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_add_apps-139x190.jpg 139w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_add_apps-1121x1536.jpg 1121w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_add_apps-88x120@2x.jpg 176w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_add_apps-236x323@2x.jpg 472w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SoundSource_add_apps-139x190@2x.jpg 278w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1336px) 100vw, 1336px\" \/><figcaption>Don&#8217;t see your App on the list?

Users moving from version 4 can upgrade to 5.x for $19US. Like all great Mac apps, you can try SoundSource before you buy to see if it meets your needs. Some limitations exist in the trial version, but can be unlocked when you purchase a license. You can install SoundSource under a single user license for all the Macs you own. Rogue Amoeba also offers licenses for shared-use environments and academic use, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are a casual Mac user or a pro, you will undoubtedly find SoundSource to be useful to manage your audio needs.
