Hi Product Hunt! I'm Chris, the maker of SoundPipe. I built this because routing audio on a Mac always felt harder than it should be. I just wanted to listen to my mac, my iPad and my linux machine at the same time through my AirPods. This just isn't possible natively. macOS still has no built-in way to send one app's sound into another: no record button for what your Mac is playing, no way to pipe app audio into a call. The classic answers are BlackHole, which is free but leaves you hand-wiring multi-output devices in Audio MIDI Setup, or Loopback, which is wonderful but costs $99. SoundPipe is my attempt at the middle: virtual audio devices with a UI where every route is a visible wire, live meters on every channel, per-channel volume, and monitoring built in. The driver installs with one click (no terminal, no kernel extensions) and the whole path runs under 15 ms of latency at any sample rate your devices support. Pricing is super simple: $10 once, use it on up to 3 Macs, no subscription, no account. The trial is the full app in 20-minute sessions that you can restart forever, so you can be sure it works with your setup before paying. I'd genuinely love feedback, especially on use cases I haven't covered: streaming setups, DAW workflows, weird hardware. I'll be here all day answering questions. PS: for launch day (+ day after) it's $7 instead of $10 with the code PRODUCTHUNT at checkout.

@chrisbattarbee Nice, the "every route is a visible wire" UI is what BlackHole always missed, hand-wiring multi-output devices in Audio MIDI Setup is genuinely painful. One use case worth covering: piping a specific app's audio into a browser tab for web-based recording/streaming tools. Clean launch.

The visible-wire routing with live meters on every channel is what would pull me off BlackHole — hand-wiring multi-output devices in Audio MIDI Setup, you can never actually see what's flowing. I'd use this mostly to record calls and screen captures: do the routes I set up persist across reboots and show back up as a stable input in OBS or Zoom on next launch, or is it a rewire each session?

@leo404 Hey Leopold, yes they persist across reboots! Should be stable in OBS and Zoom too!

I love the visual wire concept reminds me of Reason or old-school analog patches, qq does the app support multi-channel audio output (like 5.1 or 7.1 mapping) ? congrats to ship @chrisbattarbee

@vikramp7470 Hey Vikram, it does, all the way up to 64 channels for a single virtual audio device! (couldn't fit them all in the screenshot)

@chrisbattarbee Nice! Support for 64 channels opens up a lot of possibilities, all the best for launch🙌

Finally a clean way to route my mic into OBS without the messy workarounds. Set it up in under a minute and it just works.
