I am trying to uninstall Soundflower from my laptop with Monterey and when I search for it in finder, nothing comes up but in System Preferences>Sound, it still shows up. I also looked under System/Library/Extensions and couldn't find it there either. Does anyone know what I am missing?
From the Finder, press "Shift-Cmd-G" and in the popup window, paste in this folder path:
/Library/Extensions
Then inside that folder, look for a "Soundflower.kext" file. If there is one, DRAG it into the trash (you may be asked for the admin password)
and then REPEAT THE ABOVE STEPS, using this folder path:
/System/Library/Extensions
Then, empty your trash and restart your mac.

you're welcome. :)
as far as "how safe" is blackhole? i'm not really sure what you mean. so my answer is, as long as you've downloaded it directly from the developer (existential audio) there will be nothing harmful bundled with the software. and as for functionality, it gives the same quality audio as soundflower. and i haven't had any conflicts within macOS since i first transitioned from soundflower to blackhole. i personally would give it a five-star review.
Thank you!
That worked. Thank you!!
One more question. My goal was to record audio from my computer. I downloaded both Soundflower and Black Hole. Do you know how safe Black Hole is? I have been getting mixed reviews on the web.
you're welcome.
