The only option to record sound in the video capture app in Mojave is to use the microphone. That means one records the TV or radio playing in the room, or a phone ringing or a phone conversation rather than just the video from the website one is watching and recording. Does anyone know a way to invoke a system audio capture without using the over-reaching microphone option? Thank you.

I confirm that Soundflower can be installed in OSX Mojave following the method described above
It worked for me but only after four attempts, persistence pays off.
"double-click the pkg file it will not let you run, saying it is from an "unidentified developer". Instead,
control-click and choose Open. You will see a window like the one below. If you click Open, it should proceed" ... plus
I would recommend also doing the following:
Open system Preferences / security & privacy
you may see a warning saying - "an attempt to install 'soundflower' by 3rd party developer was blocked"
click on (install anyway)
and in the same window you may also see:
"some system software was blocked from loading" click (Allow)
A list of blocked developer names will probably include "M INGLES" so tick the check box to allow installation
Run the installer again
if it still fails
Run the installer again
Apple corporation are rightly concerned about unscrupulous copying of copyright content, particularly popular music,
so my guess is they would make it difficult to install the tools for the job, but there are some legitimate reasons for capturing system audio, so the obstruction is merely a deterrent, not an outright ban.
I am currently unable to use soundflower since I updated to Mojave. It was working fine prior to updating.
please which one? also my system refuses Soundflower on Mojave, because it tries to hack the System !!
I have SoundFlower working in Mojave just fine.
I did not try installing, I already had it on my mac, so maybe it is a problem with the installer. The fact that the webpage does not mention Mojave does not mean it won't work. It was written before Mojave existed and was not updated (perhaps because it has not been fully tested).
What exactly is failing?
If you just double-click the pkg file it will not let you run, saying it is from an "unidentified developer". Instead, control-click and choose Open. You will see a window like the one below. If you click Open, it should proceed.
Or perhaps you did all this already, and the installer failed later on?
I am not going to try it now, since I already have it and it is working. Please explain where and how it is failing. I hope you get it working too.
