How to Remove the “Maono AI Microphone” Audio Device on macOS

Download

Fully quit the Maono Link application, and make sure it is not running in the background (check the menu bar and Activity Monitor if necessary).

 

Open Finder, then press Command (⌘) + Shift + G to open the “Go to Folder” dialog. This feature allows you to enter a file path directly and jump to a specific directory. Copy and paste the following path into the input field:

/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL
 
 

Locate the folder named “MaonoDriver.driver”, then move the entire folder to the Trash (do not delete only the contents inside).

Restart your Mac to apply the changes. After rebooting, the “Maono AI Microphone” device will be removed from:

    • System Settings > Sound > Input
    • (or System Settings > Sound > Output, if applicable)
