If you find an old forum post linking to a .dmg file called DDJ-SB2_Mac_driver_1.0.0.dmg , on a recent Mac. That driver is for OS X El Capitan (2015) and will break your audio system.

The Pioneer DJ DDJ-SB2 is one of the most beloved entry-to-mid-level controllers for Serato DJ. It’s rugged, feature-packed, and has been a staple in backpacks for nearly a decade. However, as Apple continuously updates macOS, finding and installing the correct driver for the DDJ-SB2 has become a major point of confusion for DJs.
