Go to the Mac Sound Preferences, on the Output tab, select Soundflower 2ch and turn the output slider up. Leave Soundflower 2ch selected. Click the Input tab, select Soundflower 2ch and turn the input slider up. Soundflower output and input levels must be turned up. You don't have to leave the Soundflower 2ch selected as input device for recording in Audacity.

Have you installed other competing virtual devices like "Greatdy" that are trying unsuccessfully to do the same thing?

Have you tried opening /Applications/Soundflower, running "Uninstall Soundflower.scpt" (try double-clicking it) then reinstall Soundflower?

I don't have Greatdy but did install Audio Hijack Pro that does work.

I'll try the uninstall and reinstall

Audacity does not make Soundflower. It works on most machines. Perhaps you should ask here http://cycling74.com/newest-topics/ or here https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa .

I'll see if I can find anything on the soundflower forum and perhaps post. Any way I can test Soundflower to be sure it's working?

From your description, it appears not to be working.

My guess is that you installed some other audio routing tool that is conflicting with it. But you should ask how to test Soundflower on Cycling74.
