Hi, I uninstalled a program called sound flower, but it's selection is still showing in the sounds prefrence pane, can you tell me how to remove it, thanks.
Like it is written in the ReadMe.rft file:
Removing Soundflower
From an account with administrator privileges, double-click on
the Uninstall Soundflower.scpt file. This will run an
AppleScript, in which you will be asked for your password.

This really works. you have to run the uninstaller and press play and the only way to uninstall it is either you run it. also you can run the uninstaller straight from the download window you dont have to download the whole file you can run the uninstaller from the dmg and press play and it will uninstall it. and restart and thats should be it.
Greetings!
I had the same issue described above.
What worked fine for me: I downloaded the Yosemite/Mavericks Soundflower installer from GitHub (my iMac runs OS Sierra) and opened the .dmg file then run the uninstall script, restarted my computer and voila! The Soundflower I/O devices had gone from sound preferences!
How did you uninstall Soundflower? Soundflower provides its own uninstaller (Uninsitall Soundflower) I believe in the Soundfolower folder in /Applications. If you only manually removed the application (Soundflowerbed) or the Soundflower folder in /Applications you also need to manually remove the Soundflower driver as well (Soundflower.kext) which would be in /System/Library/Extensions. When you remove it you need to reboot.
I uninstalled it using the uninstaller, but it was still there, so I uninstalled it with clean my mac, but still the same thing.
Did you reboot after uninstalling?
Try Audio MIDI Setup (in utilities) and if the devices are listed there delete them from there (select and click a minus near the bottom left).
I looked in audio midi setup and they were listed but the minis sign is gray and will not erase them.
Hi..
Try deleting the System Preferences (.plist) file.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Click Go
Move the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
BTW, third party so called "clening" utilities usually cause more harm than good. You don't need, "Clean My Mac" ...
Use this uninstaller to remove it from the hard drive > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
I searched it, but it didn't show
If you are using lion use the finder Go menu, Go To Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences and then click the Go button.
May also want to try deleting com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist.
If that doesn't work there's the two plists in /Library/Audio.
Still can't find soundflower there

What does that refer to? /Library/Audio has two plists and your ~/Library/Preferences has one plist that I mentioned. Did you remove those plists and is Soundflower still in Audio MIDI Setup?
I have the same problem and have done all of the above.
Guys I figured out how to uninstall it, I had to open the uninstaller and hit run, then reboot my computer and soundflower will be gone.
Hi,
Similar question here, but I can't figure out if Soundflower even installed.
The installer said it was sucessful. Nothing related to Soundflower appeared in System Preferences. When I do a search for Soundflower, Finder only showed the .dmg file.
I then realised I didn't need it so I ran the Uninstall script.
I didn't appear to do anything, but when I did a second search for Soundflower, Finder only shows the .dmg file again.
Does this mean Soundflower didn't install at all - or at least that I have uninstalled it?
Cheers.
uninstalled sound flower but is still showing in the sounds preference pane
