I get an unknown pointer error when starting any ISO. I am using the most recent stable version on MacOS High Sierra. Dolphin was able to start ISOs with no issue until I tried building a separate branch from source. That did not work, so I deleted everything and reinstalled the latest stable version. Now, even the latest stable version fails.
Code:

What other information can I provide to help debug? I'm stuck here D:.

I'm thinking I might have changed a dependency during my experiments. Is there a way to re-install all dolphin dependencies?

12:17:846 line says it has an error setting volume. In Dolphin, check the Config > Audio tab and make sure the audio dropdown is set to something and isn't blank.
