Your Mac's audio isn't working
Audio Hijack Pro is installed
The Instant On plug-in is installed

The Instant On plug-in is most likely the culprit of your audio issues. I know this was the issue for me.

To fix the issue you'll need to remove the plug-in located at

Your audio should start working immediately after trashing the file.
