OBS 31.0.0 freezes when exiting on my Mac

[kikeda1102]

OBS 31.0.0 freezes when exiting on my Mac.

This happens whether I close it using the "Exit" button in the Controls menu or the "X" button.

So I have to force quit it every time.

And when I downgraded to version 30.2.3, it worked properly.

Dear developers, I kindly request a bug fix.

Environment:
M3 MacBook Air 2024
macOS Sonoma 14.6.1

obs 31.0 is the culprit you need to rollback

OBS Version: 31.0.0
MacBook Pro 14-inch (2024)
Chip: Apple M4 Pro (12 cores: 8 performance, 4 efficiency)
Memory: 24 GB
macOS Version: Sequoia 15.2

### Issue:
OBS freezes on exit. This happens consistently regardless of streaming or recording status. Force quitting is the only way to close the application.

### Reproduced Scenarios:
1. Occurs with or without the use of Elgato 4K capture card (model: 4K X).
2. Happens whether the only installed plugin is active or disabled.
3. The app has full disk access permissions granted.

### Additional Notes:
- Logs show repeated errors such as:
`[coreaudio_get_device_name] failed to get name: 560947818`
- OBS settings do not involve desktop or screen sharing.
- Latest versions of both macOS and OBS are being used.
- Audio routing is configured via BlackHole 2ch for additional input sources.

### Steps Taken to Resolve:
1. Verified macOS and OBS are up to date.
2. Granted OBS full disk access.
3. Tested with minimal settings and configurations.
4. Reviewed OBS logs for clues (see example below).

### Log Snippet:

I've not found that to be the case. It works perfectly well for me, which would suggest the problem lies elsewhere, not with OBS 31.0.

Same here.
Even when I'm in safe mode, right after 1 minute of open application, when I try to exit — it freezes.

I even got the hotkey for force quit OBS, but it really grind my gears :(

I had a similar issue in the previous version, which turned out to be one of the plugins. Removing all and starting clean solved the problem.
