Now use the Format pop-up menu to choose the sample rate you want. You can set the sample rate for audio output devices by first selecting the device from the left-side column, and then clicking the Output tab. I can set my audio sample rate to 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, or 96 kHz - but only from Audio MIDI Setup.Īudio MIDI Setup lets you control sample rates for your speakers and mics It's a 24-bit digital-to-analog converter that gives me much better audio than my Mac's built-in audio chip can manage. My MacBook Pro, for example, has the usual built-in speakers for output, but I also have Audioengine's D3 DAC connected to a USB port. Once launched, you can choose any audio input or output available and make adjustments that go beyond the basic features in the Sound Preference Pane. You can find the Audio MIDI Setup app tucked away in Applications > Utilities. Even though Audio MIDI Setup may sound intimidating, it's loaded with controls that go far beyond what its name implies and can help you fine tune the audio quality your Mac pumps out. Try hitting the volume change keys on your keyboard and confirm everything is working.Your Mac's Sound Preference Pane is the go-to place for choosing audio inputs and outputs, but it isn't the only place you can go in OS X to manage your Mac's sounds. Click on it, and then pick your Aggregate Device as shown here: Once you have done that, launch the Soundflowerbed app from /Applications/Soundflower and then look for a menu bar icon shaped like a flower. You don’t have to do all three, but I found it works for my needs, so might for yours too. For my purposes, the two channel device fit my needs, so I went in and set it as the default for both input, output, and system alert sounds (right click on the device and you will see options for each). Once you install it, you will find two new audio devices are listed in the Audio MIDI Setup app. It’s hosted on Github and you can find a download link both on Github and it’s Google Code home. Unfortunately, I didn’t find a way to do this without the help of a 3rd party app, but thankfully, Soundflower seems to do the trick without any extra bloat and appears to be well maintained. The final issue to resolve is having the ability to change the audio volume like normal.
My current solution is using Soundflower as suggested here by Jeremy at the end: Please, let me know if any better solution exists (or at least a workaround to my disabled Master slider). It's weird the inside the Audio MIDI Setup, I get the Master slider grayed out even if not using the Multi-Output device.
