I don´t know if there was a silence update, from from today it works as it should. I did not change anything, Audio Units just work. 
I 've just checked on my Mac mini. Still no changes. 
When I opened App on my Mac mini I needed to enter License Key and configure Audirvana settings.
I also de-authorised my MacBook Pro ( where Audio Units work fine ) and checked again my Mac mini. Nothing.
Seems I’ll continue to use Audeze Reveal Plug In with Roon SW.
I checked and it’s still a “nope” for me. At this point I’d take a covert fix.
The silence on this and other issues from Audirvana support is baffling. At least an acknowledgement that these posts are being read - even if they don’t have a solution - would be a refreshing change.
I have the same issue with the license. Every few days I’ll launch 3.5.x to see if there is a software update (fix) and sometimes I have to re-enter, sometimes not. I just roll my eyes and do it.
Same problem for me on 3.5.16 which I just updated hoping it would help the problem with 3.5.15. The problem occurred the first time when I installed Reverberate Core from Liquidsonics to do convolution. Since then, no AU works. I have completely uninstalled everything, rebooted, etc… but the problem remains.
However, it works very fine on version 2.6.9 which I was using until I upgraded to 3.5 last week…
When the problem occurs a new DAC appears called CADefaultDeviceAggregate-2852-0 next to the other outputs possible, which is both strange and doesn’t help anything since you can’t do anything with it.
Hope this problem can be fixed quickly since I need convolution and UPnP, and Audirvana is useless without this working properly.
Thanks.
Philippe.
Can you first update to the latest version (3.5.16), and then send me by email or PM the crash report if you still get any crash, with details on how to reproduce?
Without such information, it is difficult to investigate…
That’s why I was asking also for logs form the Console.
@rshinze: Regarding the issue configuring the Audio Unit, do you get nothing, or a black screen? The later shows the Audio Unit is still using Open GL deprecated API that have been removed from Mojave when run on recent host applications.
What you have experienced shows the AU configuration works well with the old API (v2), but not with the one Apple is pushing for (V3).
Actually, I did update to 3.5.16. It doesn’t crash anymore. At least, I couldn’t replicate the crash, but nothing happens when I click on “configurer” in front of the AU I select, besides creating this strange new “DAC” output.
Here is the log on my computer. You can see this new “DAC” in the list as Device #1.

Thanks for these.
The CADefaultDeviceAggregate is an artefact of macOS when using some plugins. It has no consequences besides this unwanted audio device listed.
Can you click again on the “Configurer” button, with having launched the Console application before?
Then enter “AU editor” in the top right field of the console to show only lines from Audirvana on the AU configuration. Do you have one?
With “Realtime control (not for DSD playback)” unselected, then I hit the configure button and nothing happens. No pop up, or black window, nothing. Hope that helps.
Can you redo while the Console application is launched (instructions in my previous post)? Do you have any log entry with “AU Editor” in it?
Hi Damien,
I got the Console application finally. No entry appears for AU Editor in it even after clicking on “Configure”.
Do you need the info about Audirvana from the Console ?
In case it makes any sense for you, here it is:

Thanks for this additional logs.
I’ve been able to reproduce the issues.
- Configuration. Now fixed.
- Crash upon starting playback after configuration. I’m on this one currently.
Stay tuned…
Great ! Thank you ! Looking forward to getting the fix 
Seems to be working fine. Will test further later today. Thanks for the quick update.
Tested several times. It works very fine. Same as with Audirvana Plus, so I guess it is fixed !
I will now be able to see whether Reverberate Core is a good convolution option for Audirvana, since this is not handled natively unfortunately.
Many thanks for the quick fix !
I downloaded and am running 3.5.16.2 (3546). It seems like a bit of a fix, but I’m still having some strange behavior in the app. Here’s the breakdown:
- Open app and have “Use Audio Units effects” turned off. Result: Normal un-modified audio.
- Turn on “Use Audio Units effects”. It enables my plugin Pro-Q 3. Result: Equalized Audio is played from DAC. (Great! nice fix)
- Stop playback and select the “Configure” button next to plugin. Result: Plugin panel opens and allows modification to equalizer. (Great! it didn’t do this before)
- Enable “Realtime Control (not for DSD playback)” and start music. Result: Equalized audio is played, plugin window is open, but the audio sounds totally different now, not the same as the audio in step 2. Shouldn’t the audio match?
Let me know if you need console logs, I’ll upload them if it would help.
How would you characterise the difference in sound?
What if in the realtime you change the EQ settings to other, and then back to the set ones?
Thank you Damien, I’m able to configure and use AUs now. I’m just using Apple’s baked in EQ to add a little “meat” to Audirvana’s bones. However when I config and save presets, moving from currently active preset “A” to saved “B” doesn’t work. You’re probably aware of this by now but I thought I’d bring it up for consideration.
Thanks again.
