MacBook Air audio missing after Serato DJ Lite driver installation and improper uninstallation
I have Macbook Air 13-inches Mid 2012 so quite old and last OS installed is macOS Mojave 10.14.6. It works quite ok and i decided not to upgrade not to risk performance lost.
I have purchased HERCULES DJ Control Starlight for remix. So I went to the web site of the producer and download the last https://serato.com/dj/lite software. I did too quick before realize (after have installed) that this SW requires MacOS 13 Ventura or higher.
Anyway MacOS did not make any objection installing SW and the DJLITE was working ok, but audio volume from embedded Mac speaker was low.
So I went to internal preference of the Dj-Lite and i select "audio output--> different devices" in spite embedded speakers to connect to external speakers. SeratoDJ Lite SW asked me to install / update one driver , i told YES, he download this driver and during this something went wrong. OS blocked . After several minutes I was obliged to force shutdown.
At the restart the Macbook Audio is gone. I don't hear anymore any audio from my Macbook. If I go to System Information -_> hardware --> audio : nothing is present (empty). In Preference if i clicjk on the "audio" icon i see the spinning wheel running for 2 minutes and then it tell me "application not found".
On top right of the macbook close to wifi icons there is no more any audio icon.
I then uninstall Serato DJLight but i think i did worst because i did not uninstall simply placing the icon of DJSerato to the trashbin but i used "AppDeleteLite" which also deleted some others files :(
When I reboot the MacBoom I hear the "sound" but as soon as he load my account the sound disappear
I fear the driver installation failure , and improper uninstallation of DJ Lite Software caused some system problems to audio.
I founded this thread: Sound not working after 10.9.4 Mavericks … - Apple Community which seems similar to my issue but i hesitate to start any action as issues are different .
Unfortunately I have a very old backup and I cannot upgrade the MacOS to newer one. Someone can help to restore my audio settings without losing data and applications?
Thank you a lot
