Some concerning issues. Not using Audirvana any more

Origin
1

Started with the usual sysoptimizer issue, reset everything, deleted preference files etc. Really? Then very loud static noise that came close to damaging my new speakers. More recently failing to start songs if I click on them while another is playing.

Macbook, Sonoma latest.

I’ve decided to abandon the software for now, and regret I wasted my money. May come back in 6 months to see of you have fixed these issues (all referenced in your support pages).

Ultimately disappointing, sorry to say.

Best of luck finding what works for you! Enjoy your music…….

Just for info, MacBook Pro, Sonoma, Chord Electronic DAC’s via USB and KEF LS50 WII and LS60 by UPnP never had a single issue with playback of files since release of Sonoma, The prior year with Ventura was flawless also.

If you change your mind just post your debug info and someone may find a solution for you.

Hi @Piker, I would like to help you with this issue.

Can you send us a copy of the “Debug Info” when you selected your unit in Audirvāna? You can get it in Audirvana Settings>My account

Note: By clicking on the Debug Info button, Audirvana automatically copies all its content, all you have to do is paste it in response to this message

The debug info shows you are running Audirvana 3.5.50 not Origin. This is an old version of Audirvana and is no longer officially supported since the release of Studio in 2021, Suggest this post is moved to the legacy versions section of the forum. For the best experience with current software when running Apple’s latest Sonoma release I would trial Studio or (if streaming/radios is not required) Origin to see if this works. As 3.5 has not been updated for the last 2.5 years, there is no guarantee it will work with Sonoma with all the functions you are using.

I am not a user of 3.5 so I will let some other users of this legacy version respond to see if they are running the software on macOS Sonoma and what issues, if any, they have.

However to first attempt to locate where the issue is I would turn off your Plug ins to check if this solves your noise issue. If it does I would then try enabling them with realtime mode off (this only allows you to edit the settings when playback is stopped but they are still applied).

As part of my troubleshooting protocols in my own thread (re: Lynx Hilo and Sonoma), I reinstalled Audirvana 3.5 and it worked perfectly in Sonoma 14.3.

Based on the OP’s description of the loud static — and seeing that he has Audio Volume engaged — I would expect that that could be the culprit. (With or without the plug-ins enabled.) It certainly was for me in v2.4 and beyond of Origin. Fortunately, I did my testing with hardware volume set to zero so I could monitor the signal on the meters only.
