BackgroundMusic/MANUAL-UNINSTALL.md
Kyle Neideck ac1df8d77c Add some related projects to README and other minor doc clean up. 
In the manual uninstallation instructions, makes the command for
restarting coreaudiod clearer. If the old command had to fallback to
"sudo killall coreaudiod", it wasn't clear to the user that it had
actually succeeded.

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 kill -15 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

  • Delete BGMXPCHelper.xpc from /usr/local/libexec or possibly /Library/Application Support/Background Music.

  • Unregister BGMXPCHelper.

    • If you're using OS X 10.11:

      sudo launchctl bootout system /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.bearisdriving.BGM.XPCHelper.plist

    • If you're using an earlier version of OS X:

      sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.bearisdriving.BGM.XPCHelper.plist

  • Delete BGMXPCHelper's launchd.plist.

    sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.bearisdriving.BGM.XPCHelper.plist

  • Delete BGMXPCHelper's user and group.
