audioquicktimesoundflower
I recently downloaded Soundflower so I could record some audio with the imagery I can already record through QuickTime. The thing is, once I've set Soundflower up I can't hear anything on my computer! I already found an answer to this problem in an old forum on this site and did as one of the answers suggested, but I still can't hear anything it's driving me up the wall!
Can someone please help me out?
Support for playing .mid files in Safari was removed in 10.8. The QuickTime plugin from 10.7 or 10.6 still works in 10.9 though. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/23948316#23948316.
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.plugin from a 10.7 or 10.6 installation to ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ on your 10.9 or 10.8 installation.Run these commands:
f=~/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/QuickTime\ Plugin.plugin/Contents/Info.plist
defaults write "$f" CFBundleName 'QuickTime Plugin.plugin2'
defaults write "$f" CFBundleIdentifier 'com.apple.QuickTime Plugin.plugin2'
defaults write "$f" WebPluginMIMETypesFilename com.apple.quicktime.plugin2.preferences.plist
Save this file as ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin2.preferences.plist:

Quit and reopen Safari.
After that you should be able to play .mid files in Safari, but you have to allow websites to use the plugin manually:
You can also play .mid files with VLC or QuickTime Player 7.
This solves the problem: open Audio Midi Set Up (via search, or in Apps>Utilities) and on soundflower 2ch slide the master down to zero and back up to max for both input and output. Works fine now.

I was having audio issues with soundflower causing digital noise once I got it working. This work around may help your issue too.
A friend suggested an idea that he had been shown. Setup soundflower as a midi simultaneously with your regular output. Therefore instead of routing through soundflower for your output (which seems to cause the issue), it routes each as their own output. So far seems to be working on my recording meters without the overdrive static. Here is the how to on this.
Also, if you are looking for more control I found software from Prosoft that allows for audio adjustment using hear or individual app volume control through hear or soundbunny.
