Manual Uninstall

  • Delete Background Music.app from /Applications.

  • Delete Background Music Device.driver from /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL.

  • Pause apps that are playing audio, if you can.

  • Restart coreaudiod:
    (Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and paste the following at the prompt.)

    sudo launchctl kickstart -kp system/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod
    

    or, if that fails

    sudo killall coreaudiod
    
  • Go to the Sound section in System Preferences and change your default output device at least once. (If you only have one device now, either use Audio MIDI Setup.app to create a temporary aggregate device, restart any audio apps that have stopped working or just restart your system.)

Optional
