BlackHole doesn't work on Safari

[legalgig]

Hi,

I'm using BlackHole and Audio Hijack to apply some AUs to reduce background noise on my mic. I've set the blackhole 2ch as a default mic input in Macos settings and tested the mic on Voice Memos and it seems to work just fine. I then launched Google meets and sadly the mic wasn't working. I've tested the same page on different Browser (Brave) and it seems to work just fine.
Is there any Safari specific setting to make it work?
I've also tested 16ch version but it didn't work either

OS: Macos 26.1
BlackHole Version: v0.6.1
Installation method: Brew
Audio Hijack flow:

Rogue Amoeba’s stuff messes with CoreAudio. I’ve seen a number of issues as a result. I recommend uninstalling all of Rogue Amorba’s apps to determine if this is a BlackHole issue or something else. Devin

I've uninstalled Audio Hijack and restarted OS, then I've launched a video with sound and choose Blackhole as a default audio output in macos settings. It suffers from the same issue, Safari doesn't detect any audio but other applications (Brave and Voice memos) are working just fine.

In that case check that safari has mic permissions in privacy and security.

I forgot to mention it but I've tested regular mic (built-in and interface) and it works without any problems, so I don't think that's permissions, unless BlackHole has additional place to grant it?

If BlackHole is working fine on other browsers than it sounds like a safari specific issue. Devin
