About This App

BlackmagicAudio is a CoreAudio HAL driver from Blackmagic Design that provides audio input and output routing for Blackmagic Design video and audio hardware devices on macOS. It handles the low-level audio interface between Blackmagic capture cards, audio interfaces, and monitoring devices and the macOS audio system, making those devices available to any macOS application that uses CoreAudio. This driver is essential for professional video production workflows involving Blackmagic equipment. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.

BlackmagicAudio is a system audio driver component, not a standalone application, so it is updated as part of Blackmagic Design's hardware support drivers rather than separately. To get the native Apple Silicon build, download and install the latest Blackmagic Desktop Video drivers from Blackmagic Design's support site. The installer will automatically detect your Mac's architecture and install the appropriate native version. After installation, restart your Mac and CoreAudio will load the native driver the next time you plug in or configure a Blackmagic device. There is nothing to configure after the driver is installed — it works automatically once you have Blackmagic hardware connected.
