I'm having a similar issue. Whenever I accept an incoming call, Facetime crashes and BM closes. Then It works as normal since BM died... Hope you guys can fix this <3
same for me on Monteray. I uninstalled background music but still can't use Facetime.
Despite uninstalling it, the virtual backgroundMusic microphone and virtual BackgroundMusic speaker devices are still visible in the settings.
at least i just fixed Facetime for me after uninstalling Background Music.
here's what worked for me:
go to this location:
cd /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/
Confirm the audio driver is there
ls
Background Music Device.driver
Delete this directory
sudo rm -rf Background\ Music\ Device.driver
reboot after that.
I'm just starting out with this stuff. Can you give me the exact steps to fix this? It's also rejecting all my calls coming into my phone when my macbook is running.
You need to uninstall BackgroundMusic and delete the Background Music Driver in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/
.
I don't remember exactly, but I think there's an uninstall script for Background Music. Alternatively, if you installed it with Homebrew, you can just uninstall it with Homebrew.
After that, open the terminal and enter:
rm -rf /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/Background\ Music\ Device.driver
That step is the important one. After that, FaceTime will work again.
Thank you so much for the help! It worked perfectly!
I also get this on the non-snapshot for macOS 12.1. It crashes FaceTime on open or if its open everytime
I can just close the BackgroundMusic App when I need Facetime and re-open it as a work around
