What’s new in version 5.8.1
- ARK Plugin Updated to 12.2.2 — The ARK plugin, which powers SoundSource’s audio handling, has been updated to version 12.2.2. This prevents distortion from occurring due to sample rate mismatches. In addition, multiple rare “ECIO” crashes have been fixed, and an OS-related crash which could occur when installing or updating the ARK plugin has been worked around.
- The “Roon” app and its “RAATServer” now display as a single source in SoundSource.
- Audio is no longer incorrectly muted for processes sending to a device operating in exclusive (“hog”) mode. This corrects a regression introduced in 5.8.0.
- An issue where CPU usage could spike when using Audio Units has been fixed.
- A new “Aggressive Super Volume Keys” hidden setting has been added, to allow the “Super Volume Keys” functionality to work when running “Dell Display and Peripheral Manager”, as well as any other software that would otherwise break it.
- SoundSource 5.8.1 Is for MacOS 14.5 and Higher — This variant of SoundSource supports MacOS 14.5 and higher. On MacOS 11 through 14.4.1, a different variant is automatically used, with no action required on your part.

I’ve just upgraded to this software from its previous version and can’t therefore write a concrete review for it. It’s simply impossible to evaluate a program after a few hours of usage. However, computer applications are like shoes. They either fit instantly, and you feel comfortable wearing them from the very beginning or you might just break them in for months and end up with a pair of awkward shoes! Having said that, I’m very pleased with the performance of this new version of SoundSource. Compared to the previous version it now has everything I ever dreamt of to organize my audio sources. The interface is intuitive and very well structured. All commands are where they are supposed to be, and this means a lot to me when switching audio sources continuously. The sound is great and contrary to its competitors it’s rock-solid and doesn’t quit unexpectedly every now and then. As I mentioned before, it’s hard to evaluate all its functions in such a short time therefore, trying is believing! Fariborz AMIRSHAHI - Verona (Italy)

Finally! A menu bar app that lets me not only control and route individual application audio to various outputs, but an app that also lets me use Audio Unit plugins. I've used Audio Hijack for that purpose for years (same developer), but this is a lot handier.
There's at least one competitor whom I've asked for years to allow AU plugins, but that never happened. Glad to see this come to fruition here.
