Boom2Daemon quarantined in El Capitan and lots of problems follow from that

eleve

MacPro3,1; Upgrade installation of El Capitan, 10.11.1. Switched from Boom to Boom 2 (downloaded the installer on Oct, 31, v 1.3) after the upgrade. Security setting: Allow Applications from anywhere. SIP on.

Problem:
Boom 2 displays various problems from simple quitting on its own, switching the volume as it pleases or turning off the speakers up to actually freezing the system while or just after I finish fiddling with the sound settings.

There are no crashlogs. The system log though is full with the following error msgs (one every 10 seconds as it tries to launch the Daemon every 10 seconds):

03.11.2015 20:11:15.390 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.globaldelight.Boom2Daemon[3473]) Could not find and/or execute program specified by service: 155: Refusing to execute/trust quarantined program/file: com.globaldelight.Boom2Daemon

03.11.2015 20:11:15.398 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.globaldelight.Boom2Daemon) Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.
...

(same as thread http://www.globaldelight.com/support/discussion/3138/boom2-v1-3-el-capitan reports, except that 10.11.1 is installed on my machine)
I have a reliably reproducible case that unfortunately will result in a system reboot without any crash logs 100% of the time so it is probably less helpful than it might otherwise be.

When I saw a new version I went and tried Boom 2 once again and the same thing happened again. For as long as Boom 2 was installed I got the msgs in the log and running audio intensive applications like eg. games or so would invariably crash the machine after a while (a while being anything between 5 mins, the shortest time, and a bit over 1 hour, the longest time).

I then turned Boom 2 off (but didn't de-install) and the system would still crash. I actually just sat at my desk not even touching the machine but listening to some audio and the machine crashed. De-installing Boom 2 completely solved the crashes.

Seeing the same problem on El Capitan 10.11.2 with Boom2 v. 1.4 - I emailed support waiting for a reply atm.

I have the messages and no crashes I can directly blame on boom 2 but am now suspicious. #deinstall

So from what I can see, this seems to be a working manual fix in the meantime:


Paste this terminal (assuming Boom 2 is in your Applications folder):

xattr -d -r -s com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Boom\ 2.app

Et voila!  Boom 2 is now unquarantined.
