Error while loading the calibration profile
SoundID Reference may give an error message when a calibration profile is being loaded. Mostly headphone profiles, but also speaker profiles are affected. This can happen in both the plugin and the standalone app:
"Error while loading the calibration profile"
Solution
Follow these resolution steps:
- Remove all output presets you've created for headphones
- Clear the preset configuration in both the standalone app and the plugin as shown here:
- For headphone profiles only: Delete the corrupted headphone profile (the .swhp file) in the Sonarworks Projects folder:
Macintosh HD/Users/your_username/Library/Application Support/Sonarworks/SoundID Reference/Sonarworks Projects - Relaunch the standalone app/plugin and create a new preset to re-download the headphone profile ('Add a new headphone profile' / 'Open existing profile')
Note: The User/Library directory is hidden on macOS by default. To show hidden files, use the Command + Shift + "." (dot) key command in Finder, or follow the directions here: How to show hidden files Mac and Windows?
