Change the volume of any app relative to others, and send individual apps to different audio outputs.
Make any audio sound great, with powerful built-in effects, as well as advanced Audio Unit support.
Adjust volume levels for each of your applications, all in one place. Make one app louder or softer than others, or even mute it entirely.
Control exactly where audio plays. Route music from one app to your best speakers, while everything else is heard via your Mac's built-in output.
Use the built-in 10-band equalizer and support for Audio Units to sweeten the sound of individual apps.
Quickly adjust volume and input levels, balance, and even sample rate for your system's Output, Input, and Sound Effects devices.

SoundSource lives in your menu bar, for one-click access to all your audio controls. You can also bring it up with a configurable global keyboard shortcut.
Making frequent adjustments? Pin SoundSource's main window, and it will float on your screen for instant access.
On MacOS 12 (Monterey) and up, integrate SoundSource with workflows you run in the Shortcuts app.
The new Headphone EQ effect provides the very best sound from thousands of different models of headphones.
The new Magic Boost 2 does even more to provide rich, full sound from even the tiniest speakers.
Add optional meters for your output device, input device, and/or active applications, so you can see and control audio even more easily.
