Uninstallation Instructions

These are instructions for manually uninstalling BlackHole.

You can also uninstall by downloading and running the automated uninstaller: Download Uninstaller.

1. Close all audio applications, including Audio MIDI Setup and the System Settings app (System Preferences on older versions of macOS).

2. Open the terminal (Terminal.app).

3. Change to the directory where the driver is located.

   cd /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL

4. Check if the driver is present in that directory. When running ls it should show a bundle with the name BlackHoleXch.driver , where X is the number of channels.

5. Remove the directory BlackHoleXch.driver. You will need to use elevated user privileges (sudo) which requires you to enter your user account password after entering the command.

   sudo rm -rf BlackHole2ch.driver to remove the 2ch version.

   sudo rm -rf BlackHole16ch.driver to remove the 16ch version.

   sudo rm -rf BlackHole64ch.driver to remove the 64ch version.

   sudo rm -rf BlackHole.driver to remove older versions.

6. Restart the Core Audio subsystem.

   sudo killall -9 coreaudiod

7. Check your system preferences and/or Audio MIDI Setup. You should not see the BlackHole driver anymore.
