could not find background music virtual audio device #640

The background music output option disappeared when the app was started for the second time. I can not find any output option related to this app. And the app can not be really started because there is a pop up windows saying that could not find background music virtual audio device everytime I click on the app.

It sounds like the driver (Background Music Device.driver) might have crashed or failed to load. You can try to get some logs about it by running the command from https://github.com/kyleneideck/BackgroundMusic/wiki/Getting-Debug-Logs#-getting-the-log-messages (or using Console.app) and then, in a different terminal window, restarting coreaudiod so it tries to load the driver again: sudo launchctl kickstart -kp system/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod
