Soundshine

Soundshine -- Audio routing that just works.                 

Share your Mac's system audio in Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime, Discord, or any other app. No command line, no complex setup, no subscription.

The problem: macOS doesn't let apps capture your system audio. You can't play a song on a Zoom call, share a video clip in Google Meet, or route game audio to Discord without jumping through hoops.

The fix: Soundshine installs a lightweight audio driver and gives you a virtual microphone that carries your system audio. Flip one switch in the menu bar, select "Soundshine Microphone" in your app, and you're done.

What you get:

• One-click audio routing from the menu bar
• Zero-latency passthrough (you still hear everything through your speakers)
• Passthrough volume control independent from the routed audio
• Real-time audio level meter
• 48 kHz, 32-bit float stereo quality
• Full VoiceOver and keyboard accessibility
• Works with every app that accepts a microphone input

Works great for:

• Sharing music or video audio on calls
• Recording system audio in QuickTime, OBS, or Audacity
• Playing sound effects into a podcast recording
• Sharing gameplay audio on Discord

How it works:

1.  Install (30-second guided setup)
2.  Toggle routing on in the menu bar
3.  Select Soundshine Microphone in your app

Buy once, use forever. No subscription. Transfer your license between Macs anytime.
