Hi there,
I'm currently using Sonarworks Reference 4, and since the update to Windows 11, my Systemwide App always tells me that the Audio playback engine failed to start. No matter how often i uninstall drivers and reinstall them, reinstall the full Sonarworks package - it can't seem to be resolved.
Does anyone experience the same problem? Can the guys of Sonarworks possibly help out?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
Update: Reference 4 is now compatible with Windows 11.
With the release of Reference 4 version 4.4.10 on Oct 17, 2022, Windows 11 official support has been implemented. The latest version of the Reference 4 installer is available in our Download Center.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your post!
Sorry to hear you are encountering this issue! You have mentioned that you are running Windows 11 and I'm afraid Reference 4 isn't yet compatible with Windows 11, see our disclaimer here: Reference 4 compatibility with Windows 11 This, very likely, is why the app is exhibiting some unexpected behavior.
For possible fix suggestions, I can recommend checking out our support article on the "Audio Playback Engine Failed to Start" error and see if that helps: "Audio playback engine failed to start" error in Reference 4 Systemwide
