How Can I Delete An Output-Audio Driver?

A few years back, I downloaded some application and with it came an audio driver. I do not remember the name of the app, or how I originally found it, unfortunately. It now automatically connects to it every few minutes, and causes sound delay. I am unable to delete it. I have already tried:


  • Going into the "Audio Midi Setup", but I cannot delete the driver from there. It says that it is an output, USb driver.
  • Going into my library, and looking for the HAL folder. I cannot find the audio driver that I am looking for there. The audio driver is called "Excellent Audio Recorder Driver", if that is necessary. I cannot find any folders or files that have to do with the driver's name.


As can be seen in the image below, I cannot delete the driver using the minus sign.



Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.5

Thank you for the screenshot.


Forget this Device:

That is a Bluetooth device. So, go into your Bluetooth settings, and Forget this device (Right-click on it > Select: Forget... > Click: Forget Device button). Or, just turn off Bluetooth.

"How Can I Delete An Output-Audio Driver?: Hey, thanks for the reply. I went into Bluetooth Settings, and the device is not there. It only has the two headphones that I use."
