Hackintosh Rebels Outsmart macOS Mic Police: Terminal Launch Hacks Grant OBS Audio Access Without the Drama

MacOS users, particularly those with Hackintosh setups, have been experiencing microphone permission issues with OBS Studio, a popular streaming software. The problem is more frequent on Ventura, Sonoma, Sequoia, and Tahoe systems due to TCC database quirks and unsigned apps. To resolve this, users can try a Terminal trick by running a specific command to launch OBS, which should prompt a permission dialog. Alternatively, they can create a custom Automator launcher that triggers the permission prompt while displaying the correct OBS icon. Additionally, resetting TCC permissions using tools like TCC Transparency or TCC Manager can also resolve the issue. By following these steps, Hackintosh users can successfully grant microphone permission to OBS Studio, allowing them to stream and record without issues. This solution is significant for the streaming community, as OBS Studio is a widely used platform, and resolving this issue can enhance the overall user experience.
