# Using Intermission alongside Airfoil

To avoid creating bizarre and confusing audio loops, Intermission automatically excludes audio from our application Airfoil from its buffer. However, we know some users will want to use Intermission's functionality of pausing and rewinding audio alongside Airfoil. This can be done with relative ease, though it requires a bit of a different setup.

### The Setup

1) Once Airfoil and Intermission are both installed, open Airfoil and set its source to "System Audio" as pictured, then transmit to your desired output(s).

Set "System Audio" as your source in Airfoil

2) Play audio as you normally would, in any applications. If you wish to pause or rewind the audio, just use Intermission to do so. That audio will flow through Airfoil, just as you'd expect.

That's it! You should now be set getting current or past audio with Intermission alongside Airfoil.

### Getting Airfoil
