What is BlackHole?
BlackHole is a macOS virtual audio loopback driver that allows applications to pass audio to other applications with zero additional latency. It creates a software-based audio interface that can be used for routing system audio, capturing application output, or setting up complex audio workflows without physical hardware. It solves the problem of needing to route audio between different software on macOS, such as from a digital audio workstation to a communication app.
Audio professionals, streamers, podcasters, and developers on macOS who need to route, capture, or process audio between applications, such as sending DAW output to Zoom or recording system audio.
Developers choose BlackHole for its zero-latency performance, high channel count flexibility, and ease of integration into macOS audio workflows without requiring kernel extensions or compromising system security.
