Volume Mixer in System Preferences

[AdorableSquirrel123]

I see this "Volume Mixer" item in my System Preferences > sound > Output panel:

It won't go away. There are no apps matching that name on my computer, none show when I search the term, and I've tried deleting library files to no avail. It may be in /System/Library/Extensions/ but there are 500+ items there, and none of them say "Volume Mixer" so I wouldn't know which to delete even if there was one.

Any clever ideas on how to find out what app/file is causing this?

Thanks so much, this is driving me crazy.

If you run "Audio MIDI Setup.app" does it show there? If so, you may be able to delete it.

Here's what I see:

Any way to force delete? Maybe a terminal command?

You'll have to research how to completely uninstall it.

Not sure.

This may help. There are other options, some which look quite complex, by searching:
