![]() ![]() You can also ensure that SoundID Reference Virtual Audio Device the Default playback device as long as the SoundID Reference app is running by enabling the Keep Reference the default system output device option in Reference app preferences. You will then be able to set the Sonarworks Virtual Audio Device as the default System output: Go to Windows Settings > System > Sound and open the Sound Control Panel on the top right side of the window.Select the SoundID Reference Virtual Audio Device as your playback device: Click on the speaker icon in the system tray (bottom right corner of the screen) and click on the ⌵ drop-down arrow to see the currently available playback devices. ![]() In order for SoundID Reference to process the sound, SoundID Reference Virtual Audio Device has to be selected as the Default playback device in Windows Sound control panel. You can do so in two general ways: If you select the Virtual Windows audio driver as the output driver type in SoundID Reference, a SoundID Reference Virtual Audio Device is created and can be found in the Sound control panel and when clicking on the sound tray icon. During this time, some playback issues can be noticed. IMPORTANT! When first selecting this driver type, it can take up to 25 seconds to initialize on each device you select. * There are no applications that are currently using your physical output device in exclusive mode, preventing different applications from using it. Note that in some output devices, every output channel pair is seen by Windows as a separate device. * The correct output device is selected in Windows sound settings - it should be the same device that was chosen as the output device in SoundID Reference. If there is no sound when playback is initiated, please ensure that: If you select the Windows audio device insert (APO) beta driver as the output driver type in SoundID Reference, no additional settings are necessary for all system sound to be calibrated. You can read more about the different audio driver types here. Calibration in the SoundID Reference app is enabled.ĭepending on which audio output driver type you selected in SoundID Reference output settings, there are different additional troubleshooting steps that you can try.If the VU meters in SoundID Reference are reacting to the playback, but there's still no sound, the output part of the chain should be checked. If you can see that the VU meters in SoundID Reference are not reacting to the playback, the signal doesn't reach Reference and the input part of the chain should be checked. Check if the signal is successfully routed into the SoundID Reference app.Final physical output (monitor controller, speakers, headphones).Audio interface (virtual mixer software I/O channels and/or physical outputs).SoundID Reference master fader and the Dry/Wet knob.At no point in the signal chain the audio is too low or muted - check the following: Check audio signal levels at every point of the signal processing chain.To solve the problem, we must make sure that both input and output are set up correctly. The audio from various sources on your computer is routed to SoundID Reference, gets calibrated, and is then sent out to the physical output device selected in SoundID Reference.Įssentially, there is a signal going into the SoundID Reference app and a signal going out of SoundID - input, and output. ![]() To give you a better idea of where the problem could be, here are the basics of how it works: SoundID Reference works as a middleman between the audio sources on your computer and the hardware output device. If you can't hear any change (or any sound at all), that indicates a fault in the audio settings. The calibration effect is usually quite dramatic and cannot be missed. ![]()
