Zoom Audio Device driver installation does not pop up

VOLNA

Hello, everybody!

I am running a latest Zoom version on Intel-based Apple Mac Mini 2018, on macOS Sequoia 15.7.3 (24G419).

When I try to share screen with audio (share audio checkbox is active) from my computer, the Zoom Audio Device driver installation DOES NOT pop up, how it used to on other systems.

 

I tried to uninstall / reinstall Zoom several times, I also tried older versions and it just does not work.

Does anybody know how to (manually) trigger the installation of Zoom Audio Device driver?

 

Please help!

Ok, I figured it out and it works now. In case anybody will need it. Run this bash commands in terminal. Application should be already installed.

 

# Create HAL folder if it doesn't exist (mkdir -p creates parent directories too)

sudo mkdir -p /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL && \

 

# Copy Zoom audio driver from Zoom app bundle to system HAL folder

sudo cp -R "/Applications/zoom.us.app/Contents/PlugIns/ZoomAudioDevice.driver" "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/" && \

 

# Set correct ownership for the HAL folder itself (root:wheel is standard for system folders)

sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL && \

 

# Set correct ownership for the Zoom driver files specifically

sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/ZoomAudioDevice.driver && \

 

# Kill audio system process - macOS will auto-restart it and load our driver

sudo pkill coreaudiod && \

 

# Wait 3 seconds for audio system to fully restart

sleep 3 && \

 

# Verify the driver is now loaded and visible in system
