Rogue Amoeba has published SoundSource 5.8.9 with a smattering of updates for the audio control utility. The ARK plug-in (which powers the backend audio handling) is updated to version 12.3.3 to provide support for high-quality USB audio with AirPods Max (USB-C) headphones. The release also ensures DriverKit-based USB devices that lack unique serial numbers work as expected in macOS 26 Tahoe, makes updates to the various workarounds implemented to handle bugs in Tahoe (in anticipation of fixes expected to arrive in version 26.1), and ensures enabling Super Volume Keys no longer incorrectly prevents the keyboard shortcut Option+Command+Eject from putting the computer to sleep.
