If you don't enjoy it afterwards and you want to fix it back to defaults without reinstalling OS X you want to do the same steps above like you did when disabling AirPlay.Are you sick of watching videos on a tiny screen? Or do want to play your music over your stereo instead? Apple's AirPlay 2 allows you to do this and more, and it's baked right into every iPhone and Mac.
I guess if your users complain about the menubar crashing, you know what they've been trying to do! To remove your users temptation of crashing the menu bar all the time, you can hide the AirPlay icon by opening System Preferences > Displays and unchecking the "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" checkbox. Logging out and back in will restore the functionality of the menubar until the user tries to use AirPlay mirroring again. They're still able to adjust the volume using the keyboard, though. The only drawback to this method is that it locks up the menubar, which means your users won't be able to use any of the menu bar items. I've copied the article's "drawbacks" below. Some problems are associated with this though. Sudo chmod 000 /System/Library/CoreServices/AirPlayUIAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/AirPlayUIAgent It will deny the computer access to the AirPlay.app that allows Airplay mirroring.
It will let you disable Airplay Mirroring (I assume that includes just the sound) by using a terminal command. I have just found some help here: Disable AirPlay Mirroring. Is there in fact a direct way to simply disable Airplay entirely in Mac OS X? But I don't want to impact any other internet connectivity as I have multiple apps that need to communicate at all times in both directions to the outside internet. If I could simply disable Airplay completely on this machine, then all would be well. What happens is, this machine appears to spontaneously decide that it wants to connect to the Airplay receiver, which causes my Media room to suddenly switch input sources and is seriously irritating and confusing to other members of the household. This is a headless machine that does not ever output any audio of its own, and in fact could have all audio drivers disabled and it would be perfectly fine with me.
Our media server is a secondary Mac that runs 24/7 for the express purpose of serving media throughout the house. I have the household media room connected to an Airplay capable receiver. But it didn't really offer a direct solution.
