SoundSource gives you truly powerful audio control, all from a globally available menu bar app.
Per-App Volume Control
Adjust volume levels for each of your applications, all in one place. Make one app louder or softer than others, or even mute it entirely.
Per-App Output Redirection
Control exactly where audio plays. Route music from one app to your best speakers, while everything else is heard via your Mac’s built-in output.
Per-App Audio Effects
Use the built-in 10-band equalizer and support for Audio Units to sweeten the sound of individual apps.
System Audio Settings
Quickly adjust volume and input levels, balance, and even sample rate for your system’s Output, Input, and Sound Effects devices.

Apply effects to sweeten the sound of all audio on your system, with the built-in 10-band equalizer and support for advanced Audio Unit plugins.
