SoundSource by Rogue Amoeba gives you proper control over sound on your Mac from the menu bar.

Key Features

• Separate volume control and output choice for every app on your Mac
• Quick switching of input and output devices straight from the menu bar
• Audio effects and equaliser tools that can be applied to any app sound
• Grouped outputs that play audio through more than one device at once
• Saved audio setups you can switch with one click when your routine changes

System Requirements

SoundSource 6 requires macOS 15 or later. The vendor provides a legacy version for older systems, which is linked from its website for Macs that cannot update further.

FAQs

Can I make one app quieter than the others?

Yes. That is the core of SoundSource. Each app gets its own volume slider, so music can stay low while a call or a video stays clear.

Can different apps play through different speakers?

Yes. You can send each app to its own output, such as headphones for one app and room speakers for another, all from the menu bar.

Is SoundSource a free app?

SoundSource offers a free trial from the vendor site. Continued use requires a paid licence, which you buy directly from Rogue Amoeba.
