LineIn overview

Note: LineIn is no longer under development, and it is no longer available for sale, but is still available for download
LineIn enables the soft playthrough of audio from input devices. In simpler terms, you can use LineIn to play sound through a microphone or any other device plugged in to your Sound In port. If you need to input audio from an external device, recreating OS 9's "Play input through output device" option, then LineIn is perfect for you

What’s new in version 2.3.0

Version 2.3.0:
  • A long-standing issue with latency has finally been cured
  • Added a menu item for toggling play-thru

Usually I rate it with 5 stars. But now I am afraid that I had to say It is no good. The point is that it isn't working with OS Catalina, I even can't install it on my device. I think I need it to use Audacity (like I did in the past), or maybe do you have an other solution? Kind regards guys!

It looks like their Loopback app can do this - I just used it to route my Line-In to my surround-sound speakers ;-) https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/

FYI, I use SoundSource from Rogue Amoeba for sound selection and also it has a Line In function. On SoundSource 3 (free to any owners of Rogue Amoeba software) it is called "Open Play-Thru Window" and then you click "Start" to route Line-In to your selected output. I just started a trial of SoundSource 4 (just released) and haven't seen (yet) how to redirect Line-In to Output. But I will find it ;-) Anyway, to get your free SoundSource 3 that includes "Play-Thru", find a Rogue Amoeba license that you bought and go here: https://weblog.rogueamoeba.com/2017/02/14/soundsource-the-sound-control-that-should-be-built-into-macos/
