Usage question for pulseaudio on MacOS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I am trying to get pulseaudio to serve sound from any software on MacOS (particularly the VoiceOver screen reader's speech synthesizer). Apologies if these are simple usage questions, I'm new to this, but I've reviewed the documentation carefully and am still confused.

I installed pulseaudio from homebrew successfully. paplay is working (I'm able to connect a pulseaudio client and hear my test.wav play successfully). However, no application or microphone audio is being sent. I have two sources available, "Built-in Microphone" and "Monitor of Built-in Output". Both are in the SUSPENDED state. I have used set-default-source to switch between them, but no luck.

I have two questions:
  • Why isn't the "Built-in Microphone" source active when my microphone is in use?
  • Is my understanding of "Monitor of Built-in Output" correct in that it should capture any audio sent by applications?
Here is the full verbose output of pulseaudio -vv.

Thank you,
Weston
