Problem with installation - macOS Monterey

[WARSAL]

Hi!

I am having trouble installing snapshot 0.4.0 on MacOS Monterey with M1 processor (Air LATE 2020 - 8/256). During installation, an installation error pops up without any additional info. I don't really know what to do. Furthermore, the application appears and starts anyway, but none of the sliders work. There's no any debug report to be shown.

It works on my Mac Pro M1 with Mac OS X Monterey

I have a 16/256 m1 Air and installing through homebrew worked fine for me.

I have mac air 2020 - macOS Monterey. Tried installation with pkg. The installation went through, but the program does not work - even worse the sound stop working. Then I uninstalled this program and the sound start working again.

pro 2019: Monterey crashes and restarts during installation.

similar with latest 14in macbook pro. i got the M1 Pro cpu and most of the other things work but facetime keeps crashing. honestly thought this was gonna be a solution to the issue where apple has literally no mixer for appliction audio but guess i was wrong.

similar problem, i have a macbook air with the m1 on monterey and the installation fails.

For some reason I had this problem when I installed the first time. However, when I tried again through brew it worked just fine.

I tried brew and pkg snapshot 0.4.0 on my Lenovo hackintosh and the app has no effect on audio levels or routing. Monterey 12.1

When installing using the .pkg file linked in the README file with version 3.2, the following popup appears:

I clicked Install Anyway, and then this error pops up:

After that, the installation finishes with a green check mark. But the audio doesn't work if BackgroundMusic is selected as the output device in System Preferences.

Is there any way to manually install the helper or is there anything else I can do to solve this?

PS: I'm on an M1 Macbook Air with MacOS Monterey 12.3

Exactly same with cybardev's m1 Mac air macOS Monterey 12.3.1

Same issue 14inch M1 Pro, macOS Monterey 12.3, tried also installing latest version with brew install --cask background-music-pre same error.

Installing manually from source worked for me but have the same issue installing the packaged file.

[DarkSkull91]

For me it works. Every time you restart your Mac, you have to relaunch background music and be sure that on the volume icon you have selected Background Music.

On M1 max, Monterey, this happens.

I've been using Background Music for years w/ no issues (Mac mini - Ventura 13.6.7). Suddenly in the last month, I get the "Error connecting to BGMXPCHelper." notification upon every reboot. The only way I know how to fix it is to re-install "BackgroundMusic-0.4.3.pkg". But as soon as I shut down/restart, I have to do that all over again.
