After Sonoma 14.2 Update Bluetooth Multi-Device Aggragates Don't Work about blackhole

[devinroth]

Does the multi-output work as expected without BlackHole?

[devinroth]

Any crash logs in Console?

Does the multi-output work as expected without BlackHole?

As soon as I'm out of this meeting I'll attempt a combo of other devices.

Any crash logs in Console?

A bunch, this is the first bug I've tried to report, how would you like me to share?

[devinroth]

I think you can export them. Put them in a folder, zip it up, and attach. Devin

Any update on using the multi-output without BlackHole? Devin

[devinroth]

What version of BlackHole are you using? You can find the version number in the info.plist in the .driver folder. Just send a screenshot.

[devinroth]

All the CoreAudio crashes show the same thing. EXC_BAD_ACCESS on audio IO: ~:AMS2_StackedOutput:2 which means the multi-output is trying to read non-existent memory. I'll see if I can reproduce.

[devinroth]

Good news. I was able to reproduce.

Bad news. I was able to reproduce using my MacBook's Build In Speakers which means this isn't a BlackHole issue. Please report to Apple. Who knows when they will actually fix it.

Good news. I built an app called Dipper that eliminates the need for an aggregate / multi-output and it should solve your problems. https://dipper.audio.

Sorry I can't help more.

[devinroth]

I'll also report.

[gchilds]

Can you describe your repro @devinroth or are aggregates simply broken on 14.2?

Thank you for digging into this Devin, really appreciate your time, sorry I was away from my work machine last night and did not get back to you more promptly!! Also really awesome with Dipper, I'll test that out!

I'll report to Apple as well to increase numbers

Create a multi-output with AirPods and macbook speakers
Opened Zoom and set output to the multi-output (it still works at this point)
Set input to Airpods. CoreAudio Crash.

What I suspect is happening is when the AirPods mic is being used the output format is changed to mono and I don't think multi-outputs handle that properly. This could have been an issue in earlier macOS versions. I'll have to check.

So broken when using Bluetooth.

[daakal]

the specific issue did not present itself in 14.1 or any of the earlier Sonoma beta's. I ran those on my work machine for weeks. It started with 14.2 and I realized it because I record nearly all of my calls daily w/ OBS

[devinroth]

And just for the record, I used macOS 14.3 beta to reproduce so don’t expect Apple to fix this anytime soon. Devin

It’s a paid app via the in app purchase. I wanted people to be able to try out the app before they pay so it comes with a free demo. You can test it out in your setup to make sure it does what you want before purchasing the full license. Devin

Right now it’s priced at $29 USD. I’m also planning on setting up an annual subscription for $10 due to many requests. I haven’t been advertising yet. Soft release. I have been ironing out all the bugs, improving performance, and adding features. I’m pretty happy with the latest release v1.5. Might be time to start telling people. Devin

Devin! I tried Dipper its freaking great, If I buy it now, it's a 1-time thing or will I end up on a sub-trail long-term?

[devinroth]

Thanks Jonathan. Glad you like it. One time purchase. Even if I add a subscription model in the future, I plan on keeping the non-subscription purchase. It’s possible that there might be a charge to upgrade to version 2 but I’m nowhere near that. And if you could spare some time, an App Store review would mean a lot to me. Devin

Can you describe your repro @devinroth or are aggregates simply broken on 14.2?

Create a multi-output with AirPods and macbook speakers Opened Zoom and set output to the multi-output (it still works at this point) Set input to Airpods. CoreAudio Crash.

What I suspect is happening is when the AirPods mic is being used the output format is changed to mono and I don't think multi-outputs handle that properly. This could have been an issue in earlier macOS versions. I'll have to check.

So broken when using Bluetooth.

wow, nasty.

I found a fun aggregate bug last week (Ventura, Sonoma): enable voice isolation for your app, see your aggregate input mashed down to its first input device. You can repro in QuickTime Player. Voice isolation is probably an aggregate under the hood, and a very intrusive feature. Seems to affect all your input devices.

Yet another reason to not use an ASP device to communicate with your own app.

I hate the voice isolation implementation on macOS. Such a botched job. I’ve been avoiding aggregates for years. This wouldn’t be the first bug. Devin

Good news. I built an app called Dipper that eliminates the need for an aggregate / multi-output and it should solve your problems. https://dipper.audio.

Hi Devin, thank you for Black Hole!
Great news about your new app, Dipper, I gave it a try already. Why it needs access to System Audio is perfectly clear, - but what does it need Screen Recording access for?

[devinroth]

It’s using screen capture to capture audio. The video portion is ignored.  That eliminates the need to set a virtual audio devices as the output and thus simplifies everything. Maybe I should add a better explanation on the Dipper onboarding. Devin

Thank you for the explaination.

Maybe I should add a better explanation on the Dipper onboarding.

That would have been very helpful, as it would have answered my security-related question before it was even asked.

[gchilds]

Is that ScreenCaptureKit? Last time I checked (early Monterey) you had to capture video in order to capture audio. Is that not the case anymore?

Does the multi-output work as expected without BlackHole?

In my case yes.

[daslicht]

When I select Blackhole as input for Quicktime I get audio when recording 'audioi'.
But I dont get any audio when I record a screen recording.

[devinroth]

Odd. I’ll test. I wonder if Quicktime changed stuff. Devin
