macOS System-Wide Audio

  1. Install the HAL driver

    Build and install the CoreAudio driver:

    Terminal window
    just prod-hal
    just install-hal

  2. Start the daemon

    Terminal window
    sotf_daemon

    The daemon listens on a Unix socket and runs the audio engine.

  3. Set macOS audio output

    Open System Settings > Sound and select SotF as your output device. All system audio now routes through SotF.

  4. Configure plugins

    Use the configbar menu icon or send JSON commands to the daemon socket to add EQ, compression, or any other plugin to the system audio chain.
