SoundID Reference 5.10.0. release notes

Hi all,

On March 26, 2024, we released a new SoundiD Reference update (v5.10.0), here's what's included:

SoundID Reference

• Implemented Audient ORIA integration. Users can export multichannel or stereo speaker calibration profile presets directly to the ORIA control app or as parameter files to be imported manually. Previously created calibration profiles can be exported, although new measurements with the ORIA interface are recommended. For more details, see our guide here: Exporting a calibration profile for Audient ORIA
• Fixed an issue with Virtual Monitoring which caused overall volume imbalance between various presets.
• Fixed an issue which caused laggy performance for the application in some geographical regions.
• Fixed some preset descriptions within the Virtual Monitoring feature.
• Improved the headphone search logic when switching between the manufacturer and model list views.
• Fixed the issue with “Update available” pop-ups not showing the relevant version numbers in some cases.
• Fixed an issue of the export process creating files within the same (wrong) folder by default.
• Fixed an issue of the “Dismiss” button not working in the update notification pop-up in some cases.
• Fixed a visual issue of the “Filter type” panel glitching out when hovering over the options, more prevalent on Windows.
• Various minor visual and under-the-hood fixes.
   

SoundID Reference Measure

• Implemented the Audient ORIA measurement flow. To take full advantage of the ORIA integration, it is recommended that users measure their setup with the Audient ORIA interface using this flow. To initiate, select “Audient ORIA” as your audio interface when prompted by the SoundID Reference Measure app.
• Various minor visual and under-the-hood fixes.
