Like all drivers, the Reflector driver can't be unloaded while it still has open user-clients attached to it. Typically, you need to quit all the apps that might be using audio to unload a driver that is being used actively. Note that processes like LoginWindow and SystemUIServer always have the HAL initialized and will open a connection to a freshly installed driver as soon as it shows up on the system.
Because of this, typically the easiest way to get a new build of a driver running is to just reboot after installing a new build.
