Soundflower is a Mac OS X (10.2 and later) system extension that allows applications to pass audio to other applications. Soundflower is easy to use, it simply presents itself as an audio device, allowing any audio application to send and receive audio with no other support needed.
I cannot successfully install Soundflower on High Sierra. It fails every time.
When it initially doesn't open because it is from an unidentified developer, I can go into Security preferences and click 'Open Anyway.' It seems to be installing fine until it fails at the end. I have tried this several times and I cannot get it to install. I am never given an option to 'allow apps from MATT INGALLS' like the instructions say. I am running the latest version of macOS High Sierra (10.13.3) with one of the 2017 Macbooks. Hi, don't worry, it seems to be something that the Soundflower developers, or maybe it's elsewhere, don't seem to be addressing, at present anyway.
I'm sure they will, as it is indeed the main platform for many Max/MSP and Supercollider users, and that's a lot of users! Anyhow, I just got round your same problem by going and getting an older version (which I'd been using before) 1.6.6. And installed it instead.

Unfortunately this works only for 2ch (on High Sierra), the 64chs gives constant buffer problems, for me at least - although only whilst you're monitoring. When you play back your recording the sound is fine!? Hope that helps. By the way, I'd tread carefully before continuing with trying to install SF, take a look at this thread first. Although I didn't have any problems as this user, there may be other issues with the instillation of SF for High Sierra. I am trying to set up Soundflower on High Sierra and have followed all the steps and have Soundflower. Except that it does not show me either 2 Ch or 64 ch.
I just have Soundflower when I open it on Audio Mini Set up. So when I start recording using Quicktime player, I get only the Soundflower option and not the 2ch or 6ch. The result is I get a screen recording without sound.

I have chosen Soundflower for output in Sound through System Preferences. Really frustrated with this now! Please can any one help me.
Would be really grateful.
