Boom2 disabled my internal speakers

lmoliva_

After my free trial expired and I purchased the app my internal speakers have been completely disabled. The only way I can get sound out of my machine is to use a bluetooth speaker or other external output device. Uninstalling the boom 2 app disabled all sound completely. What is going on here?

I believe you have not uninstalled the app completely. Please paste the following lines in the script editor and run it to completely remove the app and restart to see if it fixes the problem.

on run
do shell script "sudo kextunload -b com.globaldelight.driver.Boom2Device" with administrator privileges
do shell script "sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/BoomDevice.kext" with administrator privileges
do shell script "sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/Boom2Device.kext" with administrator privileges
end run

I have tested this on OS X Yosemite and it works fine.

I have the same problem as Imoliva

This is the result I got from running the script editor:

(kernel) Can't unload kext com.globaldelight.driver.Boom2Device; classes have instances:
(kernel) Kext com.globaldelight.driver.Boom2Device class com_globaldelight_driver_Boom2Device has 1 instance.
(kernel) Kext com.globaldelight.driver.Boom2Device class Boom2Engine has 1 instance.
Failed to unload com.globaldelight.driver.Boom2Device - (libkern/kext) kext is in use or retained (cannot unload).

I had the same problem except my speakers worked fine, it affected my main method of listening to stuff on my Mac (EarPods). Ran the script and it worked instantly, so thanks!

Though sound on the EarPods is noticeably worse now that Boom is gone...

@joelbennettus

Have you ever installed any previous version of Boom? If yes, then it needs to be removed first before running the script. Also try closing the app first before running the script.
