audio doesnt work after update to 10.14.1

Hello,


I have my MacBook Pro yesterday updated to Mojave and since the update no more sound. I try to explain the problem a bit more detailed here and I hope that I can help with troubleshooting.


(All screenshots are in German, I hope that they are nevertheless understandable.)


Short system info to start with:

First of all if I want to adjust the volume, only the following symbol appears on the desktop. And when I open any application which can play sounds or use audio, the beachball appears for many seconds.

I can not open the system setting "Sound". Error message: "The system setting "Sound" could not be loaded."

Under System Information, the Audio tab is empty.

In the system console (Error Log) the following error appears continuously (once per second):

com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.audio.coreaudiod): Service exited due to SIGSEGV | sent by exc handler

com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.audio.coreaudiod): Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.

Things I've already tried:

- Mac OS reinstalled with Command & R (after restart)

- EtreCheck executed (finds no error)

- PRAM reset

- SMC reset

- "sudo killall coreaudiod" -> no matching process

- "sudo launchctl start com.apple.audio.coreaudiod" -> No effect

Any ideas to fix this problem?


Thank you so much!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Mojave (10.14.1)

Fixed it by myself after several hours of research.


In EtreCheck the error appears:

Diagnostics Information (past 7 days):

2018-11-24 10:16:37 coreaudiod Crash (19 times)
/usr/sbin/coreaudiod


In the next step, I ran the file, but it crashed instantly.

The Apple bug report has been opened and this process has been named: com.rogueamoeba.InstantOn.driver


I've googled that and found the application Loopback. I have now uninstalled this **** and everything works fine.
