Under Microphone, you should now see Soundflower (2ch) as an option. On the right hand side, you should see a little arrow pointing down. Instructions for recording your computer screen: Audio should began coming out of your speakers once again. Click on the flower icon and select Built-in Output under Soundflower (2ch). You should find a new flower icon in your status icon area in the upper right hand corner. Launch Soundflowerbed from your Applications folder. In the event you still want audio to come out of your speakers, Soundflower comes with a solution. Audio should have stopped coming out of your speakers/headphones. 2 channels/stereo should be sufficient in most scenarios, but feel free to use the 16 channels one. Select Soundflower (2ch) as your output. If not, you may need to restart your computer. Go to System Preferences > Sound and see if the new outputs exist: Soundflower (2ch) and Soundflower (16ch). You can download the latest version from ( Soundflower homepage) Instructions for enabling Sunflower (computer audio): I did a little search online and found an interesting software called Soundflower by Cycling 74 and basically what it does is that it loops the audio back into the computer as an input, allowing QuickTime and any other software to record the computer audio. QuickTime will allow you to record from line-in, so if wanted, you can purchase a short 3.5mm mini-stereo cable and connect your audio output to audio input. #SOUNDFLOWER CYCLING74 DRIVERS#
Some soundcards come with drivers that has an input that is the computer audio output, but Mac by default doesn’t. One caveat of using QuickTime (or just about any screen recording software) is that there isn’t a easy way to record the computer audio. I’m not sure if these are changeable or configurable, but worse case you can easily re-encode it afterwards. It encodes the video in H.264 and audio in AAC, both which are excellent and widely supported codecs.
It can record both your entire screen or or just a selected area, thought there appears to be a minimum height/width it requires.

So I was looking for a software to capture my computer screen on Mac OSX and was surprised that the newest QuickTime (version 10) comes with a screen recording feature.
One of the feature that it includes is the ability to capture computer audio without using the SoundFlower trick below which is very convenient. It isn’t free unfortunately, but for $10, the amount of hassle you save is worth it. Instead I have found a new piece of wonderful software called Voila ( was provided an affiliate link to use from Global Delight). I personally had a lot of trouble using QuickTime after upgrading to Mountain Lion where my computer would become super slow whenever I tried to screen capture with it.
