    Tried to load the nxaudio.kext (5.0.43) on latest OSX failed with the following message, thus no audio redirect available:

    # kextutil /System/Library/Extensions/nxaudio.kext

    Diagnostics for /System/Library/Extensions/nxaudio.kext:

    Code Signing Failure: not code signed

    Untrusted kexts are not allowed

    ERROR: invalid signature for com.nomachine.driver.nxau, will not load

    Hello,

    We aren’t able to reproduce your problem in our lab. We need more
    details. Could you run below commands and send output to
    forum[at]nomachine[dot]com, please?

    1) /Applications/NoMachine.app/Contents/Frameworks/bin/nxserver --version

    2) system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType

    3) codesign -vvv /System/Library/Extensions/nxaudio.kext/

    4) find /System/Library/Extensions/nxaudio.kext/ -type f -exec md5 {} \;

    Some input for your reference (computer name removed). Thanks.

    $ /Applications/NoMachine.app/Contents/Frameworks/bin/nxserver –version

    NoMachine – Version 5.0.43

    Hello,

    Unfortunately it’s a bug. It’ll be fixed in a next release.
    Old kext wasn’t replaced during update.

    As a workaround you can do this:

    1. Uninstall NoMachine:

    sudo rm -rf /Applications/NoMachine.app

    2. Install again the newest package.
