How to remove virtual audio inputs in MacOS Ventura?

I have some applications that apparently have an audio component to them. Specifically, I have a remote desktop control app that I use, called Jump Desktop (great app BTW) that can play the audio of the remote computer and apparently I can use my mic to maybe use a conferencing app on the remote side. My problem is that every so often, my inputs randomly change and I have to scramble to find out why people can't here me on my local device. I want to be able to just remove the audio inputs and outputs from some apps, as I never use them. But where we used to have the +/- signs to manage those, Ventura has removed them. So how do I remove these virtual audio devices from my system?

Thanks for your help.

Is the virtual audio device listed in Audio MIDI Setup? Perhaps you can remove it from there.


Another option is to take a look in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL folder and see if there's something resembling the audio device you want to remove.
