Dequeue scripts on pages not using player

Hi. I am trying to remove the mb audioplayer assets from pages that don’t use it to improve page performance. I am trying to using “Asset Cleanup” plugin to do that but it breaks the page with JS Console errors.

The page link added to this Q is for a page that is broken, then rest of the site loads all MBA assets as normal.

When I stop the mba assets loading on a page, this causes JS errors and my sticky header/search box stops working.

The assets I stop loading are:

map_overwrite_default_me /wp-content/plugins/wp-miniaudioplayer/js/map_overwrite_default_me.js  
mb.miniAudioPlayer /wp-content/plugins/wp-miniaudioplayer/js/jquery.mb.miniAudioPlayer.min.js  
mb.miniAudioPlayer.css  /wp-content/plugins/wp-miniaudioplayer/css/miniplayer.css

This causes the following Console errors in Firefox:

ReferenceError: replaceDefault is not defined harp-making:730:32
    <anonymous> https://dev.handsonharps.com/harp-making/:730

TypeError: jQuery(...).not(...).not(...).mb_miniPlayer is not a function harp-making:722:102

I have tried to dequeue the assets using the following in child theme functions.php but seems not to do anything.

add_action('wp_print_scripts', function () {
	wp_dequeue_script( 'map_overwrite_default_me ' );
	wp_dequeue_script( 'mb.miniAudioPlayer' );
});

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'xxxxxx', 99 );  
function xxxxxx() { 
	wp_dequeue_script( 'map_overwrite_default_me ' );
	wp_dequeue_script( 'mb.miniAudioPlayer' );
}

I have unloaded several other plugins such as the Revolution Slider on home page without a hitch.

Any help with this much appreciated.

P.S. I did make a donation when I started using this plugin a year or so ago as I was so impressed with it ??
