How to stop Universal Audio (UA Audio) mini application manger from launching at startup
Problem with Application Manager
When you install UA Audio, it will automatically install a package manager that sits on the upper right-hand menu on your finder.
Disable Auto Launch
Open up Terminal
on macOS and open this file. Note, you may need to use sudo
to ensure you have the necessary permissions.
sudo nano /Library/LaunchAgents/com.uaudio.ua_mixer_engine.plist
Step 2 - Edit .plist
file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<!-- LaunchAgent -->
<plist version="1.0">

<key>Label</key>
<string>com.uaudio.ua_mixer_engine</string>
<key>Program</key>
<string>/Library/Application Support/Universal Audio/Apollo/UA Mixer Engine.app/Contents$
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<false/>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/Library/Application Support/Universal Audio/Apollo/UA Mixer Engine.app/$
<string>-silent</string>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
Repeat This Process Again
