No modern Apple Silicon support
On later macOS version (e.g. Tahoe), you can get the installer to run, but it will fail consistently (per `/var/log/install.log`) with clear errors indicating that ARM hardware is not supported (e.g., intel_x86 support only). There may be some GitHub forks for this but TBH I couldn't be bothered to waste more time. Look at something like Loopback if you really need this, but expect to pay for these modern options. I liked SoundFlower in it's hey-day to use with my Ableton rig, but don't have much need for it these days. Good luck!

Trying to uninstall is even more horrid. Bits and such still hiding out that app cleaners could not quite remove. Had to Time Machine.

This was good in its day (like around 2014), but hasn't worked properly for years in newer versions of macOS. The modern and much more capable replacement is Loopback. (Some other software can do some of the same things, including Boom2, Movavi Sound Grabber, and various other utilities for grabbing streaming audio and video, but most of them really are intended just for that, e.g. recording Spotify streams.) I prefer Loopback, because it's a configurable virtual sound device, and can even be set up on an app-by-app basis (e.g., you can set it to record some long TED talk or whatever on YouTube in Chrome without echoing the audio to your physical output device, then go watch a movie in VLC without the audio from that interfering with your TED recording). Because the OS sees it as a device, it can be set in one for other purposes, such as screen-recording software like Voila. You can thus use such a combo to rip any online video even if you can't find a downloading app or browser extension that supports the site in question. (The only downside is you have to let the whole thing play from start to finish while you grab it. So, go make dinner or something.)I'll give this three stars, since it's still usable on old versions of Mac OS X. However, various newer, better programs are also.

Not working on my MacBook Air Catalina no sound in Manycam. I have tried every possible way of installing it but fails every time

Complete garbage. Avoid at all costs. Sets itself as default sound output. You've been warned

A very light, indispensable tool for opening up a stock Mac's audio capabilities. Combined with AU Lab, I was able to easily equalize my Klipsch 2.1 desktop speakers that came out of the box so boomy as to be unusable. Now, they sound amazing... all with 2 free, light pieces of software that take a little work setting up and then... it's all good. I just have an AU Lab saved settings icon on my desktop that I click after a reboot and I have fantastic sound.
