Solutions for macOS 10.13 (High Sierra)

Apple has released a new security mechanism system in macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) which will automatically prevent its users from installing programs that aren’t downloaded from the App Store unless the user manually allows this from “System Preferences”.

Therefore, some macOS 10.13 users who installed ApowerREC software may see the error message “Virtual sound card can’t be detected, fix it now?” pops up, reinstallation won’t help in this situation because it has already been blocked by the system and if you do nothing at this stage then Apowersoft program will not work correctly.
