soundflower mac kernel extension

rockhammer's icon

not sure if this is the right place to ask my question but here goes...

running etrecheck on my mac shows under kernel extensions this entry:

com.Cycling74.driver.Soundflower (1.5.2)

I don't ever recall installing the soundflower app myself and certainly there is no soundflower app in my applications folder.

I want to determine which apps/processes are using this kernel extension. Can someone please help me figure this out?

My end goal is to determine if I can remove it to see if it improves system performance. I certainly do not want to remove it and have something else break.

Thanks.
