Keyboard Maestro / Soundflow conflicts

    I've been avoiding addressing this for a while: it seems like when I install any version of Soundflow past 5.7.8 it prevents Keyboard Maestro from executing macros correctly.

    I have tested this: after upgrading to 5.7.8, and keyboard maestro macro won't work. When quitting Soundflow, the macro now works.

    Is there any known reason why this is happening or things I can do? I'm on Mac Sonoma. Thanks

        I figured it out, it was actually the "Trigger Keyboard Maestro Actions" app doesn't work past 5.7.8. It was confusing because the macro would be triggered but it would fail midway. I would have assumed if it was no longer working, it would even begin to trigger the macro.

        @Benjamin_Horbe Do you have any plans to update this? I might take a crack at it otherwise

          This approach might help make it more stable:

              Thanks Christian. Yeah, that’s what I went back to doing. It’s just that I have so many existing macros that use the app to trigger Soundflow that would need to be updated. Also, it’s just simpler to use the macro name.
