Problems with Soundflower
If you can't get Soundflower to work, or a Soundflower upgrade has failed, the best thing to do is reinstall the driver. It doesn't take long to do, and normally fixes the problem. First you need to uninstall (and reboot), second step is to install the latest driver.
Get the latest driver
Download the latest driver. See notes below:
- Leopard, or Snow Leopard: get the latest from here: http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/
- For PPC machines running Tiger: You *must* use version 1.2.1.
Uninstall Soundflower
- Open up the downloaded DMG file, and run the script highlighted below. This will remove the existing driver.
- Reboot. This part is important. You must ensure that the driver is unloaded correctly, and rebooting will ensure this. Failing to do this part can result in update / installation problems (i.e: the next bit can fail).
Install the new driver
- Open up the DMG for the installer (the one you just downloaded)
- Install Soundflower. If you are prompted to restart the machine, please do so.
- Check System Preferences, Sound, Output. You should see this:
