Requires macOS 12 or later. Quit any audio apps first.
- Download
OpenSL3-1.0.1.zipfrom the assets below. - Unzip it and remove the download quarantine, so macOS will load the driver:
(If your browser already unzipped it, skip the
cd ~/Downloads unzip OpenSL3-1.0.1.zip xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine SL3Device.driver
unzipline.) - Move the driver into place and restart the audio service:
sudo mv SL3Device.driver /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/ sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/SL3Device.driver && sudo killall coreaudiod - Plug in the SL3. Rane SL3 appears in Audio MIDI Setup and in your apps.
Upgrade
Same as installing, but remove the old driver first. Moving the new one onto an installed driver would put it inside the old bundle rather than replacing it.
