I found a listing for Audio Hijack in the Settings app:
Settings>General>Login Items
It is listed as a background app. I've never installed Audio Hijack and the only third-party audio app installed is the seemingly benign SomaFM radio app.
Any thoughts?
Mac mini, macOS 13.0
I contacted the good folks at Rogue Amoeba. Many of their apps use a component known as Audio Capture Engine (ACE). This item is also licensed to a number of third-party apps.
With MacOS Ventura, the settings app sometimes mislabels this component as the full Audio Hijack app - no harm done.
At some point, an application installed on my Mac would need ACE to function properly - not sure which one, though.
Anyway, it is harmless and I will leave it alone.

Despite the scary name, Audio Hijack is a well-respected app. And yes, it could have come bundled with something else.
