Application will not show up in the taskbar. Does show up as an output device.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the bug. This usually doesn't need to be super detailed. Run BGM from Launchpad or Applications

Versions

Hardware

As mentioned above, the application installed no issue. It shows up in the Device list, but the icon never appears so am not able to adjust any volumes. It seems I'm not the only to have reported this issue as there's a few other posts in here about this with not recommendations/solutions.

Exactly my experience. Package installed and was prompted and I allowed mic access. Immediately the audio output was a completely inaudible robotic distortion (Zoom in this case). Other applications (Music/YouTube tested) won't output audio at all.

Switched backed to previous device and audio returned to normal. Icon never appears only able to switch in audio device settings.
