just wondering if anyone knows of an alternative to SI, ive been a month without systemwide now and im not getting any help from anyone. SW has been at responding to emails etc but its just generalized info that isn't helping.
ironic thing is that the BETA of this software was pretty much flawless and as soon as I updated to the release version it all went south. the plugin is still working but systemwide does nothing, that's the only way to explain it. if its open there's no sound at all, no meters in SI, disabling doesn't help, only when I quit do I get sound back.
ive tried the IK ARC but that's crap, any other alt solutions?
thx!

Hi all,
I wanted to chime in here and let you know that we have released a new SoundID Reference update (v5.9.1.3) today, Jan 24, 2024, which includes a fix for the SoundID Reference missing from sound output settings on macOS issue. With this update, the SoundID Reference audio device should be available in Mac Sound settings and Audio MIDI when the SoundID Reference app is running. For those encountering this issue with the previous versions, we recommend updating to the latest version.
To install this update, download the SoundID Reference installer from our download center here and proceed with the installation.
If there is an issue remaining after installing the update, please check the tips mentioned here: [MAC] No sound / no calibration effect
Thank you for your patience while we were working on resolving this issue. Let us know how it is working for you!

Same here, I log in every day just to see if there is an update.
Very frustrated with Sonarworks, clearly something bad is happening over there.
Any recommendations on other software will be welcome.
Anyone have Reference 4 running on a silicon Mac?
Use calibrated speakers? If you like Sonarworks on the calibration side, you could use the ADAM Audio A*V range. If you are happy using another brands calibration software then you could use IK Multimedia and their iLoud range of speakers, from the much cheaper iLoud MTMs to the more expensive Precisions.
