Software Update 5.13.7.1299 Caused Playback and ThunderBridge Routing Issues

0

Hi Sonarworks Support,

I’d like to report what appears to be a compatibility issue after updating to SoundID Reference 5.13.7.1299 on July 11.

My system

  • Mac mini (2018)
  • Intel Core i7
  • macOS Ventura 13.7
  • Apogee Symphony Mk I
  • Symphony 64 PCIe via ThunderBridge

Before the update, I had been running SoundID Reference 5.12 without any issues.

What happened

Immediately after updating to 5.13.7.1299, SoundID stopped processing audio completely.

No playback was detected inside SoundID, regardless of whether I was playing audio from my DAW or other applications.

Changing SoundID routing did not resolve the problem.

ThunderBridge / Maestro issue

At the same time, the update appeared to interfere with my ThunderBridge setup.

My Apogee Maestro software became unstable:

  • Maestro repeatedly disconnected and reconnected
  • The Symphony hardware continuously refreshed
  • I experienced unexpected latency
  • Audio routing no longer behaved normally

I also noticed that my ThunderBridge Audio MIDI configuration had changed. After restoring the routing, my Apogee system itself returned to normal.

However…

Even after fixing the ThunderBridge routing

I installed SoundID Reference 5.13.7.1299 again.

The exact same playback issue remained.

This indicates that the ThunderBridge routing was not the root cause, since restoring it did not solve the problem.

Rollback

The only solution was to completely uninstall version 5.13.7.1299 and install the legacy version 5.9.2.5.

After installing 5.9.2.5:

  • Playback immediately worked again
  • SoundID functioned normally
  • My entire system became stable again

I have reproduced this behaviour multiple times.

Could you please investigate whether there is a compatibility issue between SoundID Reference 5.13.7.1299 and Apogee Symphony Mk I systems using ThunderBridge?

If possible, could you also provide a download link for version 5.12, since I was unable to find the installer?

Thank you very much.
