Whatever you think is best.For capturing any audio on your Mac, recording, processing and routing it. I can either add it as an edit to this post, or reply one more time to this topic with the guide. As such, I would like to use this thread to post a quick guide with screenshots when I get the time.
#OBS SOUNDFLOWER MAC#
I am sure others who use Parallels (and other Mac users) have run into the same situation I have. However, in short, this means this is not a Parallels issue. I am still perplexed as to how yours was working. I just had the configuration wrong in the Audio MIDI setup (had never touched it before now, so default settings do not work). So in reality, I actually uninstalled my only hope at achieving what I wanted to achieve. The fact is: OBS (or any recording software) on Mac requires an extension such as Soundflower in order to record the desktop audio at the same time as it plays it through the speakers. I found that not only did it not fix my issue, but now OBS did not recognize ANY of my sound devices (not even my built-in ones).Īfter further research, I found that this seems to be a Mac issue (or trait - seeing as it's true on all Macs and has been since forever). I was also thinking along the same lines as you, so I uninstalled Soundflower completely (it was quite an ordeal since I was not able to find the files in Finder - I had to use the Terminal to delete the directories). Hi am indeed referring to the built-in Mac speakers. If this thread turns out to be a good one, hopefully it can help somebody else in the future as well.

Feel free to ask any questions you need to gain a better understanding of the situation. Once again, I appreciate any input you guys can give.

Either way, I am all ears.Ĭomputer: Mid-2012 Macbook Pro 2.6Ghz i7, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1 GB, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1.5GB OR maybe one of you has a better idea that I haven't thought of. UNLESS perhaps I were able to configure Parallels to have two sound output devices at the same time: Soundflower and default computer hardware. So right now, I can record the audio or I can hear the audio, but I can't do both.

This is a good thing - it means there is a way to record audio in Mac from a Parallels VM.įor those of you familiar with Soundflower, you probably know that using it means I can't hear any sound through the speakers/headphones. Not until I changed my settings to use Soundflower did I achieve success in recording audio from what my VM was outputting (settings changed in VM output to Soundflower, Mac settings to Soundflower, and OBS settings to Soundflower). I did make a little progress in understanding what is going on: Parallels settings did not change (set to default output, which = computer speakers or 3.5mm headphone jack). Of course, I can still hear it on my speakers/headphones.
#OBS SOUNDFLOWER SOFTWARE#
The audio would not come through from the VM to the OBS software trying to record. A preliminary test seemed to be successful. Hopefully this works as well in practice as it does in my head. This will allow the Mac resources to power the stream while my VM resources are all dedicated to my game.

It makes sense - graphics resources inside of a Parallels virtual machine are scarce, so having two graphics intensive applications running at once is likely to stretch things pretty thin.Īs such, my "brilliant idea" is to install OBS on Mac, set it up to simply stream my entire screen and computer audio (since I can no longer select the individual application). I've found that using OBS Studio is a great way to easily set up a live stream, but I've also found that if I have OBS and Age of Empires running at the same time, a slight lag gets introduced into my gameplay. Nothing fancy, but it makes a few of us happy. One of these games I sometimes stream on Twitch for a few viewers to watch. Yes yes, I know, Parallels is not ideal for gaming, but it works fine for the older games I play (notice I said fine, not great). I use Parallels to run Windows 10 for a number of reasons, one of which is to play games. I'll start by explaining what I am trying to do: I did try to search the forums for a similar topic, but either my search terms weren't right or I truly have a unique case.
