This Skill documents WhiteHole, a modern macOS audio loopback driver for inter-application routing with minimal latency, enabling seamless multi-app audio workflows.
Install the driver, configure a virtual device, then route Ableton output to OBS for live analysis and streaming.

Inter-app audio routing on macOS uses virtual audio devices to connect applications like DAWs and streaming tools. WhiteHole enables zero-latency routing by installing a CoreAudio HAL driver that creates virtual devices, letting you send audio from one app to another without perceptible delay for real-time workflows.
CoreAudio supports virtual loopback devices through HAL drivers installed in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL. WhiteHole implements this architecture to provide multiple virtual devices with deterministic channel mapping, enabling seamless audio routing between applications on macOS.
Virtual audio routing with minimal latency connects DAW output to streaming software. WhiteHole configures a virtual device that routes Ableton or other DAWs to OBS, eliminating the need for external cables or workarounds while maintaining zero-latency performance for live analysis and streaming.
Native macOS audio routing is limited; loopback requires third-party drivers. WhiteHole fills this gap with a CoreAudio HAL driver providing deterministic multi-app routing and virtual device management, enabling workflows impossible with standard system audio routing.
Audio drivers on macOS install to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL and integrate with CoreAudio. WhiteHole's driver installation enables low-latency HAL integration and virtual device creation, making it discoverable as an audio interface in any application.
Virtual audio routing latency depends on driver architecture and CoreAudio buffer settings. WhiteHole delivers perceptually negligible delay through optimized low-latency data paths in its HAL driver, suitable for real-time audio workflows where timing is critical.
