Sonarworks Headphone Calibration software

Feb 11, 2018 at 3:56 AM Post #991 of 1,377
I just purchased Sonarworks Headphone edition and no sound is coming through my PC when I utilize it now. I never had an issue with the free trial. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong or how to fix this. I have attached photos. There is no sound whenever the program is up and running. The program functions and the buttons all work when it's running, but there is no sound at any point. I also emailed Sonarworks about this.

Did u check the manual, u have to play with the Playback Devices- Speakers under Sound and have the dac and Sonarworks on.. ...and sometimes restart especially if u are connecting to my Geek Pulse, ha

I also made sure both the DAC and the Sonarworks (both separately) were the audio source. I have also made sure the volume was up. I get no sound.

Reload the program, input the Licenses, restart...and check Speaker settings...and can try, right click the speaker -Troubleshoot sound problems.

When I went from a beta version from last year, I had to use Revo Uninstaller (free version is ok) and remove 'all'..and restart, reload the program...that work.

Hope it works for u...time to sleep

I uninstalled the entire program, reloaded it, and it worked. Very weird.

Their update is not automatic..notice a few more headphones supported on their webpage that was not on my list such as Sony MDR-Z7
https://www.sonarworks.com/reference/headphones

On my list, I have this twice (swhp) - ATH-M70x, but different with the '-' between Audio and Technica

Audio-Technica ATH-M70x Average
Audio Technica ATH-M70x Average

So I added my License again - no changes to the Calibration Profile
Reloaded the trial program, no change to my Calibration Profile
Delete the Calibration Profile under Sonarworks Projects
Reload my License. The headphone/iem list was loaded to the latest as shown on their Sonarworks webpage (True-fi has a few more)

Still double of the ATH-M70x on my Calibration Profile

Sorry if this has been asked, but is the android Trufi compatible with USB dac playback?
This app, which is still in beta, is really awesome. It actually makes my Sony 1A listenable and enjoyable. Heck it even makes my Beats Mixr and Studio 2 half decent. Highly recommended!

Hey all.

I'm wrapping up the best weekend of headphone listening I've had in years. What Reference 4 does with my HE-400i's is astounding, although the Averaged profile is way too bassy, to the point it distorts. But setting them to simulate the HD-650 is perfect.

Speaking of the 650's, my 6XX is probably even more expressive than the 400i's. Setting them to simulate the B&K 1974 speaker profile sounds so much like my main speaker rig that it's scary. I can't rave enough about this software. I get that not everyone will react like I am, but it hits all my buttons.

So far my Grado's have not benefited, but I think next week I'll fine-tune with the "Wet" function, hear if they improve at all. The problem with Grado's is like them to sound like...Grado's.

:)

After a day or two of use, my machine developed the same issue - I think there is an issue with their systemwide driver. Please let us know if you get a response, the company was very unhelpful for me as a prospective buyer and I decided not to give them my money for the time being.

I ended up uninstalling literally everything (shredded/deleted files/registry using IObit Uninstaller) and re-installing the program from scratch. It fixed the issue and I have had no issues since. They were actually quick to respond to me (within a day or two) but by then I had already fixed the issue.

On a side note, does anyone know how to bring up the mids in this program? Bass and treble, yes. I have found no way to adjust the mids.

Can you not lower the bass and treble so the mids become 'relatively' higher?

Yeah, I'll have to experiment. I'm sure it'll work relatively fine. I really like this program for the Senn 800, generally speaking. The program works well for the Senn 600, but it's a very minor change. Do not like it for m40x or V-Moda M-100 at all. Would have to experiment with some more settings probably. Well worth the 99 bucks or whatever it costs.

I'm waiting for True-Fi to get updated so I can use it on my new LG V20. :) They need the V-Moda XS and M-80 on there.

I bought the True-Fi app yesterday after receiving the CanJam discount code. Worth the money for my HD6xx. Wider soundstage, extended bass and more realistic cymbals and brushes.
