These programs will either record system sound separately, to be recombined with the captured video in your video editor of choice, or will divert system sound to a program that normally wouldn't record it (as seen under "Mac video-only recording" above) | These programs will either record system sound separately, to be recombined with the captured video in your video editor of choice, or will divert system sound to a program that normally wouldn't be able to record it (as seen under "Mac video-only recording" above). | ||
Additionally, you need to ensure that your levels are correct. Once you believe you are ready to record sound, go to System Preferences>Sound and make sure that the "Output volume" at the bottom and the "Input volume" under the Input tab are set properly. You can test this by generating some sound from the game without starting a recording, and watching the "Input level" bar in Sound's Input tab to see if it lights up appropriately while the sound is playing. | Additionally, you need to ensure that your levels are correct.

It appears that shinywhitebox's free Audio Capture extension, designed for use with their iShowU video capture apps, will work on its own, allowing you to add system audio to any video recording app, including QuickTime Player. It probably works similarly to Soundflower, but if anyone actually tests it, please update this section. | It appears that shinywhitebox's free Audio Capture extension, designed for use with their iShowU video capture apps, will work on its own, allowing you to add system audio to any video recording app, including QuickTime Player.

If your Mac has standard [[wikipedia:Phone_connector_%28audio%29|minijack]] ports for audio input (microphone) and output (headphones), just plug one end of a standard audio cable into the headphones jack and the other end into the microphone jack to loop your sound output back into the computer. Then, in System Preferences>Sound, select "Headphones" under the Output tab and "Line In" under the Input tab. Make sure you also select line-in as your audio source when recording video in a program that also records audio. | If your Mac has standard [[wikipedia:Phone_connector_%28audio%29|minijack]] ports for audio input (microphone) and output (headphones), just plug one end of a standard audio cable into the headphones jack and the other end into the microphone jack to loop your sound output back into the computer.
