Describe the bug
I cannot uninstall Blackhole from macOs 15.4.1
I've tried multiple independent methods mentioned on the site:
- First, do a clean install of BH 2 ch
- using the generic "automated uninstaller" on this page: https://github.com/ExistentialAudio/BlackHole/wiki/Uninstallation . Get error "The installation failed."
- using the manual steps at the above link -- there is no blackhole driver in
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HALeven tho blackhole appears in the Audio MIDI Setup app and other apps. - using a specific blackhole2ch uninstaller listed here: https://existential.audio/blackhole/support/ . Installation succeeds but blackhole remains installed.
I'd really appreciate support on how to uninstall this as i believe its presence is interferring with another audio app on my system.
thank you
