Ok, with the discontinuation of QT Pro, Apple has removed the ability to capture digital audio while recording a screen without a 3rd party plug-in of some sort while engaging/disengaging the correct sound sources in System Preferences/Sound. It cannot be done otherwise except through a microphone. The same is true for iOS and iPadOS. The EU has threatened Apple with hundreds of millions in fines if they re-enable this ability in the OS. Despite the thousands of complaints that Apple broke this and it needs to be fixed, that is never going to happen.bayswater wrote: ↑Sun Sep 25, 2022 6:09 pm
Mike: I’ve moved on to Blackhole, despite not having any problems with Soundflower, but I’m still using the old steam powered OS versions. Apple might be concerned with EU fines, but not to the point where they have removed the option in Quicktime to reroute audio at the same time as you screen record the video.
Black Hole is very good and free as we know. This guy talks too much (don't they all?) but this video is as good a tutorial as any on how to do that.

Roxio's Live Screen Capture is less convoluted than QT but I still need to have the System Preferences/Sound screen open (so I can quickly get back to what I was doing) and it uses Soundflower. I have a workaround to keep it from causing the problems that gave me so much grief but I've found no way to use Blackhole with LCS.
In my usage, I rarely have a need for the video. It's always the audio. Case in point: Yesterday, I needed the Mellotron Spanish Guitar Intro made famous by King Crimson and The Beatles (intro to …Bungalow Bill) for a PowerPoint. I went to recordings of both but even on the White Album remaster, the sample had way too much noise for my use. This video had exactly what I was looking for and an audio capture gave me the sample I needed.

If Audio Hijack can streamline the process, great. Again, I will post what I find out.
