Virtual audio device not found

[lstruble]

iMac Big Sur: Audio driver is apparently not loading after allowing apps from App Store and identified developers to load...this message pops up "could not connect to virtual audio device."  Any ideas, please!   Thank you, Larry

I'm having the same problem on MacBook Air. Can NCH comment please?  Thanks, Peter

I am running 6.21; I'll try downloading 6.5.  Thanks for responding, Larry.

Wellllll, now I have two problems:  The first, obviously still exists.  I attempted to download 6.5 and then this message (The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again.  I did try again, all is unlocked and I restarted the computer.  I'm still receptive too any ideas.  Thank you, Larry.

First time I see that issue, not even sure why installing Soundtap will show that. Did you uninstall SoundTap first before installing version 6.5? Can you share screenshots here of the  message you get?

I put Soundtap in the trash and restarted the computer after emptying.  The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again.  That is the message I received.  Thank you,  Larry

Try removing the program from the Applications folder, then restart your machine. After this reinstall again the program from the next link:  https://www.nch.com.au/soundtap/index.html

I've just update Mac to Big Sur 11.3 and now my SoundTap can't access the virtual audio device!                                                                                                                           Extremely frustrating!       I don't know much about computers but have followed all the prompts.

Who can advise me please?
