RemoteAUHost is an XPC service component embedded within SoundSource, Rogueamoeba's advanced audio control and routing utility. This helper service enables SoundSource to communicate with and manage Audio Unit (AU) plugins and audio devices remotely, allowing the host application to isolate plugin processing and manage audio effects chains with greater stability. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionRemoteAUHost is not a standalone application — it is a helper service bundled inside SoundSource. There is nothing to update separately. To get the native Apple Silicon version of RemoteAUHost, update SoundSource itself through Rogueamoeba's update mechanism. Launch SoundSource, go to SoundSource → Check for Updates, and install the latest version; the native build of the helper service will be included automatically. Alternatively, visit Rogueamoeba's website to download the current version directly. Once SoundSource is on the latest native build, RemoteAUHost will run natively as well, delivering better performance and lower power consumption on M-series Macs.
