VAD Not Starting on macOS 15.4 - Workaround

If you're experiencing an issue where your VAD (Virtual Audio Device) does not start on macOS 15.4, here's a workaround that can help:

1. Open Activity Monitor

2. Go to View > All Processes

3. Search for coreaudiod in the list

4. Kill the process (right-click and select Quit, then choose Force Quit if needed)

This will restart the Core Audio service, which can help get the VAD up and running again.

Please note:

• This is a temporary workaround, and the issue may reoccur after restarting your Mac.

• Make sure you’ve followed the full optimization guide according the os version carefully, without skipping any steps, as this can impact system audio stability.
