Patch Cable 1.1.0 — public beta

Free virtual audio cables and per-app audio routing for macOS.

  • Create virtual audio devices (1–64 channels, 44.1–192 kHz) that appear in Sound settings and every audio app.
  • Route individual apps, all system audio, or audio inputs into a device, each with its own volume, mute and level meters.
  • Wire source channels to device channels on a drag-and-drop canvas, and monitor any device on your speakers or headphones.
  • Runs from the menu bar, with optional launch at login.

Download

  • macOS 14.4 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel: PatchCable-1.1.0.pkg (signed and notarized)
  • SHA-256: b2da8350a1146aac8a1b275fc9e6d10e98b45dc69c9de5fe18bf8da41030f4b7

The installer adds Patch Cable to /Applications and an audio driver to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL, then restarts the macOS audio system (sound stops for a moment). The first time you add an app as a source, macOS asks you to allow audio capture.

Beta notes

  • This is pre-release software: please don't rely on it for work you can't redo.
  • An audio input running at a different sample rate from the Patch Cable device may be switched to the device's rate.
  • Patch Cable checks this page once a day for new versions (you can turn this off in the app). Nothing else leaves your Mac, and your audio is never recorded or sent anywhere.

Free, under The WAV Lab Software Licence Agreement shown by the installer.
