About
macOS has one volume slider and no equalizer. SOUND gives every playing app its own 8-band EQ, independent volume, and output device—right from the menu bar. No virtual audio driver or account; audio stays on your Mac. Free and available in 10 languages.
AI Summary
SOUND allows macOS users to assign individual equalizers, volume levels, and output devices to each app, enhancing audio control from the menu bar. The application operates without a virtual audio driver or account, ensuring audio remains local to the Mac.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
