How do I install the WhiteHole driver?

The driver must be built using Xcode, moved to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/, and the CoreAudio service must be restarted using launchctl.

Can I use this with Claude Code to automate audio setups?

Yes, this skill allows Claude to guide you through the installation, configuration, and integration of WhiteHole into your development or production workflows.

WhiteHole is a specialized macOS audio driver that creates virtual audio devices, allowing you to route sound between different applications without perceptible delay.

Does WhiteHole work on Windows or Linux?

No, WhiteHole is specifically designed for the macOS architecture using CoreAudio and the AudioServerPlugin framework.

What does 'tripos' mean in this context?

Tripos refers to a three-way (GF(3)) routing system that organizes audio signals into Left (Minus), Right (Plus), and Center (Ergodic) channels for compositional coherence.

Developer Tools

Facilitates zero-latency virtual audio routing between macOS applications for streaming, recording, and complex signal processing.

WhiteHole is a high-performance macOS audio driver designed for seamless inter-application audio routing. It creates virtual audio devices that allow for the transfer of audio data between DAWs, streaming software, and analysis tools with effectively zero perceptible latency. Built on the CoreAudio framework and utilizing the 'tripos' GF(3) routing logic, WhiteHole enables advanced topological audio setups. It is particularly useful for developers and creators working with algorithmic sound, real-time visualization, and complex signal chains that require precise, deterministic audio paths.

Key Features

01Zero-latency audio transfer between macOS applications

02Support for multiple virtual audio devices and sub-devices

03Deterministic color-coding support for channel management via Gay.jl

042 GitHub stars

05Deep integration with CoreAudio and AudioServerPlugin architecture

06Tripos (GF(3)) three-way audio routing logic (Minus, Plus, Ergodic)

Use Cases

01Implementing complex topological music structures between SuperCollider and external processors

02Capturing system-wide audio for real-time visualization and signal analysis tools

03Routing DAW output (like Ableton Live) directly into streaming software like OBS
