What is iShowU Audio Capture?
iShowU Audio Capture is an extension to OS X used by iShowU Studio and iShowU Instant to record audio from your computer. This new-and-improved audio driver replaces Soundflower and provides a bunch of new features and improvements in order to make recording audio more stable and easy to do.
Download Installer Catalina - Go Here
iShowU Audio Capture is designed for use with iShowU Studio or iShowU Instant. You may use it for other purposes but we can only provide support for its use with iShowU products.
Features & Improvements
- Much more stable - When you quit the app, or even if the app* crashes, your default audio device will switch back to what it was before. This means no more weird issues where your sound seem to disappear!
- More intelligent - Your audio output device will only be switched when it needs to and only switched back when it needs to.
- Better volume support - When recording audio from your computer, adjusting the volume will now work seamlessly, as you'd expect it to.
- Workspace support - When you switch to another user/workspace your audio output device will automatically switch back to how it was, and then return to capturing audio when you switch back.
* True with iShowU Instant and iShowU Studio 2 only

Great job!Works with Open Broadcaster Software too!
Wow! iShowU worked like a charm!
I just installed it, selected output device as iShow, ran QuickTime player with screen recording and selected iShow for sound input and boom!
it worked so well.
Thank you!
By the way I am using Macbook Pro Retina 15 inch Early 2013 with 10.11.4
Thanks you :)
It is still not showing up in my after Step 8. What do I do?
hi
its work with sierra?
Thanks samhfr for explaining the rest of the process. SMH - why did the OP not answer the subsequent directions for making it work on Quicktime. Fucking annoying! You know why we're here!
It is unclear which version of IShowU Audio Capture I need. 1.0.4 or 1.0.1
The download is 1.0.4 and the image says 1.0.1.
I am on Sierra 10.13.6
Thanks!
Lo acabo de instalar y configurar para usar con OBS Studio. Gracias!!!
Is iShowU Audio Capure already available for Apples new M1 architecture?
Nunca les pasó que cuando hacen ruido les salta una frase del programa que dice que no se detecto audio y es muy molesta?
Hi I am getting delays when I use SWB Audio app on my Mac Running Sonoma....
what do I do?
Thanks to the author's thorough description, I was able to completely resolve my dilemma after reading this post. I shared my feedback on the essaytoolbox review, which you can read. Your assistance was invaluable. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Just as essay help can provide crucial academic support, this post offered the perfect solution to my problem.
Thanks for the detailed guide—super helpful! iShowU Audio Capture has been rock solid for me, especially compared to Soundflower. The seamless volume control and automatic device basketball stars switching are great improvements. Appreciate the clarity around installing on older macOS versions!
This platform exceeded my expectations with accurate charts and clear transparency legal consulting. Support solved my issue in minutes.
Great guide for older OS users! Getting audio right is crucial for recordings. It makes me think about how important it is to get things 'right' in other areas too, like when you need to take a BPD Test for self-understanding. Good info!
This is super helpful for anyone using iShowU Studio or Instant! It's great to hear about the new-and-improved audio driver for recording computer audio, especially knowing it's an OS X extension. Replacing the older 'S...' driver sounds like a welcome upgrade for better performance bad time simulator.
Good news for everybody who wanna use iShow Audio Capture on Monterey or something between Mojave and Monterey, it does totally work. I use it with OBS to capture Ableton & my desktop audio. Works like in the High Sierra days no issue!!!
I just tried installing iShowU Audio Capture on my Sierra laptop, but the open sea for brainrots step confused me-why would a audio driver mention that? The kext confirmation process feels oddly specific, like it's testing your patience more than your tech skills.
