AudioRouterNow v3.4.0
AudioRouterNow v3.4.0 — June 13, 2026
Critical fix: No audio after fresh installation.
After a fresh install from the DMG, AudioRouterNow appeared to run correctly (green icon, output device selected, system audio set to Audio Router) but produced no sound. This release fixes the root cause.
What's Fixed
- Audio now works after fresh installation — A macOS-specific limitation made it impossible for the audio driver to access the shared memory channel that carries audio between components. The driver was silently dropping all audio frames.
- Audio clock deadlock resolved — Even after the access issue, a circular dependency in the audio timing mechanism prevented audio from flowing. The clock now runs freely, as recommended by Apple's CoreAudio documentation.
- Zombie helper prevention — If an old helper process from a previous version is still running after an update, the app now detects it, shuts it down, and starts a fresh one automatically.
No action required beyond updating. All fixes are automatic on first launch.
