What’s New in 6.0.6

This is a targeted update focused on AirPods and Beats compatibility, volume overlay polish, and stability fixes:

AirPods & Beats Head Tracking SoundSource now temporarily deactivates the Head Tracked spatial audio setting when routing audio to AirPods and certain Beats headphones, preventing conflicts
Preferred Device Order Custom device ordering is now better maintained when AirPods or Beats headphones connect
Volume overlay improvement The overlay now centres on the display when shown over a full-screen app, rather than appearing in the top-right corner
Zoom audio fixed Sharing audio on a Zoom call now works correctly
Bluetooth battery accuracy Battery level display for Bluetooth devices is now more accurate
Crash fix Resolved a crash that occurred when switching tabs in the Settings window on macOS 15 Sequoia

Core Features

If you’re new to SoundSource, here’s what makes it worth $49:

Per-app volume control Make one app louder, another softer, or mute it entirely independently of the system volume
Per-app audio routing Send Spotify to your speakers while Zoom goes to headphones, all at once
Audio effects pply built-in EQ, compression, and Audio Unit plug-ins per app or system-wide
AirPlay streaming Route any individual app or all audio to HomePods, Sonos, or any AirPlay device
Output groups Play audio through multiple outputs simultaneously
Super Volume Keys Keyboard volume control that works on every output, including ones macOS ignores
Shortcuts integration Automate audio configurations with macOS Shortcuts

“Sound control so good, it ought to be built in.” a sentiment echoed by nearly every serious Mac user who has tried it.
