Hello community!
Following a fresh install of macOS Monterey, a few days later I was looking in the console and noticed a strange service running called 'ZhuGeService'. What I normally do is that I search the internet for what it's about but regarding this service, there was literally nothing to be found
Although it seems to be an Apple Signed service, does anyone have any idea what this is used for? The service is running under the _coreaudiod user.

Yes it is a coreaudiod—one of Apples private framework found in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ZhuGeSupport.framework
codesign -dvvvv /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ZhuGeSupport.framework/Versions/Current/XPCServices/ZhuGeService.xpc
Executable=/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ZhuGeSupport.framework/Versions/A/XPCServices/ZhuGeService.xpc/Contents/MacOS/ZhuGeService
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ZhuGeSupport.framework/XPCServices/ZhuGeService.xpc/ZhuGeService |Objective-C

I am sure there 100's of things you will not recognize or be a mystery to you if you dig through all processes.
Since Big Sur the Macintosh HD is a SSV (Signed System Volume) you do not have r/w access
