xdj-xz audio driver & mac big sur

Hi - I am wondering if anyone else out there continues to have this issue even after the latest MAC and RB updates and has resolved it? In order for my XDJ-XZ to be recognized as an audio device, I have to install the driver EVERY TIME via the black 'Driver' button within the audio section (https://prnt.sc/20xpryl). I have tried installing, re-installing over and over and a pioneer rep on another post even acknowledged the issue for certain 'mac users' and suggested running a line command in terminal - but the issue persists. Has anyone else experienced this issue? It's not a deal-breaker, but is incredibly frustrating, and would expect by now to be a fix. Pioneer - if you are listening... any idea as to when this will be resolved?

I am running macOS Big Sur 11.6 on a MBP 16" 2019 machine and rekordbox 6.6.0
