How to delete/uninstall virtual audio devices (eg. RØDE)?

Hi,


no longer needing the RØDE virtual devices I wanted to delete them but the folder Audio folder is empty as are all its subfolders (how is this even possible?). According to RØDE assistance over Twitter there should be a HAL folder, but none is found.


My Mac is running macOS 12.1.


How do I locate the RØDE virtual device drivers and how do I delete them? I have deleted and re-installed the RØDE Connect app but that did not help to locate the drivers.


Thank you for any input!

Sorry if I am pointing out the obvious, but there are two different Library folders: the one in your home, and the systemwide folder. You have only showed one of them, which seems to be your own.


In Finder, press Command-Shift-G and paste

/Library/Audio


to open the systemwide Library; or likewise, but with


~/Library/Audio


for your home Library. Maybe you will find something.

Don't worry Luis and thank you for pointing this out!


Well, it wasn't obvious for me, but there the virtual devices are, tucked away under HAL as supposed to.


There is a reason why I do not look under the hood of computers so to speak 😀


My take away from this is there are two different libraries and I even have the key commands now, yay!


I am grateful for your effort in resolving this matter, thank you.
