The first icon is a mic that allows you to toggle the mic on or off. If you are able to view the physical screen of the remote computer, you would see two icons in this opened up section. This will be in the upper right part of your screen. To turn on voice over ip, select the headset with mic icon in the blue teamviewer control box ON THE REMOTE MACHINE. For whatever reason (perhaps security?), this last step of unmuting the mic is not possible without introducing a tricky workaround. Once you are successfully remoted in, you must turn on voice over ip and unmute the microphone. Note that when this is selected, you will hear no audio output on your physical remote machine, so don't forget to change the audio ouput device back when you are done remoting in. This should only have to be done once.Įvery time you remote in and want sound, you should also select the soundflower device to be the default audio output (done via the speaker icon on the apple menu bar).
On the computer you will be remoting into, start teamviewer and configure the audio settings (via the audio tab in the preference screen) so that the soundflower (or loopback) virtual device is chosen for the microphone device. Make sure you read the installation notes carefully.

I'm sure Loopback would work also (presumably an easier install with more functionality, but costs $99).

However, it is pretty kludgy to setup, but works perfectly thereafter.įirst, I install the "Soundflower" virtual audio device (available for free from GitHub) on the computer I am remoting into. I have found another solution that works very well without having to use Skype, etc.

Hope this helped anyone trying to figure out how to listen to a Remote Mac Computer's audio and if there are better solutions out there please let me know! This can be done with other applications too and with the system audio in general. But here are some photos on what I've done There's a tutorial on how to use it on their website and in the app.
In order to achieve this I used an application called Loopback by Rogue Amoeba. So far it's worked fairly well but there may be a bit of latency. By having both computers in a call on Discord I then set up my computer to have it's audio output routed to Discord as an audio input so that it will send audio through the 'call'. Rather than using Teamviewer to transfer audio my solution is to use applications like Skype or Discord. While I was looking for a solution I missed my 7 day refund period.Īfter awhile thinking on my problem I've come up with a kind of solution. I didn't do enough research and then discovered that Teamviewer can't transmit audio from the remote if it's a Mac computer. I recently purchased Teamviewer to use with my recording studio computer so I could do accoustic work from my office.
