If you restart Skype and it goes to the new Multi Output Device as its Output, change the Skype preferences for Output back to Built-In Output. The Output should be fine to chill as its weird amalgamation. To undo this you should only need to change Input in System Preferences to Built In Mic (or whatever your mic normally is). If you don't tryhard and cheque my steps. You should hear: game audio and friend talkingįriend should hear: game audio and you talking with 0.5-2 seconds of lag (much better than Steam's 7-10,000 years of lag between video and audio) Go into Skype and set its preferences for Microphone to Soundflower (2ch). On the Input tab choose Soundflower (2 ch) Open System Preferences, go to Sound, and on the Output tab choose Multi Output Device. Check Built-in Sound and Soundflower (2ch) IDR the name but it's built in and in Applications -> Utilities. Open LineIn app, set it to send the Built In Mic Input to Soundflower (2ch) Output - can replace other mic sources with Built In Mic as the Input, this is to get your voice also going with the system audio. Right under the list of dev stuff is LOOKING FOR INSTALLER? That's where you go.

Goal: Stream a game on Mac OS X to a friend via Skype's desktop sharing feature and snazz in some work-around to also stream desktop audio but NOT the person you're Skyping's voice back at them. Put it here because I found a thread related to it via google here. I dunno quite where to put it but it took a bit to figure out what to do, so I thought I'd make it simple for someone looking to do it.
