Works perfectly on Catalina GM about blackhole HOT 19 CLOSED

Have you been able to record with your build-in mic with Audacity and QuickTime?

Ohhhh.....

Audacity does not work with build-in mic, QuickTime works with both build-in mic and with BlackHole!!!

This is Audacity issue!

Thank you very much for your help with troubleshooting!

Thanks. I'll add a note to the README.

Does not work on Catalina for me :(
Followed instructions, however no luck :(

@vitishko could you be more specific? What's not working? How do you have it setup? I need more information.

from blackhole.

I've installed it following installation instruction.
Rebooted laptop.
Tried to record audio from Safari (playing music on YouTube) in Audacity: I've set recording device as BlackHole in Audacity and hit Record button. Audio from Safari does not record.

Am I missing something?

Thank you.

just a heads up, I couldn't get it to work when using OBS, which after some research wasn't because of blackhole, but because of OBS not being compatible yet with Catalina. There is a workaround though, you have to start OBS from the terminal. and make sure you give terminal access rights to your microphone.

thanks for the blackhole development though, it's a genuinely useful tool.

@synnys great point. Make sure the app that you want to have access has microphone permission in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Microphone.

Did you set the system output device to BlackHole?
…

Yes, I did.

I've also tried to setup Multi-Output device (System Audio + BlackHole) and used it as output device:

There seems to be a bug in the Multi-Output which requires you to set your MacBook Speakers as the first device. Like in my picture. Try unselecting BlackHole and reselecting it. Let me know if that works.

Multi-output device works, with your suggestion. Thanks!

However, recording does not work in Audacity:

Is Audacity listed in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Microphone?

Also tried QuickTime voice recorder, does not work either.

In order to get it working in Catalina, I definitely had to set up a multi-output device. It's working great now! Thank you

Hi, just noticed that I now cannot make or receive calls on my mac via FaceTime with black hole installed. In the sound settings I have it set to microphone for input and internal speakers for output. Any thoughts on why sound is disabled when using FaceTime to make or receive audio calls?
