Can you record internal audio with Sonoma?

[Silly John Fatty]

Can anyone tell me if you can record internal audio natively with macOS Sonoma? Can you perhaps even record your screen + internal audio simultaneously, natively?

I think you need 3rd party software to do that in Ventura.

I've searched for terms like "quicktime", "audio" or "recording" in the list of new features, but couldn't really find anything. But who knows, maybe it's just not in there.

No, you can not.
From my tests, BlackHole https://existential.audio/blackhole/ works perfectly, eqMac not so much https://eqmac.app

Apple has a native framework: ScreenCaptureKit which does this. At the moment, the built in screen recording tools don’t use it unfortunately. However, newer versions of OBS do and allow screen or app recording, including audio.

How much skill do you need to make a program that could do this using this ScreenCaptureKit? I have absolutely no idea about programming (I did some web languages though, and micro-doses of PHP and JavaScript), but sometimes I come across situations like these and I wish I could just quickly put together an application just for my own.

If I started from zero, do you think it would take me long to write a minimalistic, simple and stable app just for myself to make screen recordings with the possibility to record internal audio?

From Zero? It’d take a while I imagine. It would be a great way to learn though. Having a reason like this is a good way to learn programming.

i think there may be some apps on the App Store, couldn’t tell you what ones though.

I try to completely avoid third party apps to be honest. Not a fan of installing anything on this computer.

Searching for ScreenCaptureKit, I found Azayaka https://github.com/Mnpn/Azayaka
“A small and simple macOS menu bar-residing screen and system audio recorder utilising the ScreenCaptureKit API in Ventura.”
I’m not on Sonoma at the moment, I’ll test it later.

Good, or bad there is no solution yet

Here, I used Azayaka to record how to record video with sound with the Screenshot app (Shift-Command-5) and BlackHole. (Sonoma 14.1.2 MBA M1 8GB RAM)

thanks for th e info, I use videorecordersomething with Waterfox on the mac_mini to capture video sounds and all!
then convert with hand break when the vids are choppy.

there is a video of Jon Stewart lamenting George Lucas over starters that is hysterical I need a copy of.
I was going to use the iPad recorder feature but Comedy Central wont play a video with an ad blocker.

the internets giveth, but taketh....

Audio Hijack has now been updated to become quite good. Frankly, I'm surprised since it was a royal PIA for so long. Now it just works without having to use Audio MIDI Setup.app and fooling around with System Audio settings every time I went to use it.

Yea, it costs some money but the convenience and ease of use are more than worth it, IMO.
