Thanks for the App Request!

Next, we'll need someone with an M1 to provide a screenshot.

Be sure to include the App, Activity Monitor showing the app details, and About this Mac so we can see the exact OS version.

You can find an example on #358

Also, it looks like Sonarworks Reference may not yet work either

Sonarworks Tru-fi for Mac doesn't work on Apple Silicon (app doesn't start because driver doesn't load).

Sonarworks Tru-fi for iOS works (no driver, all in-app). But you can't do new installs. It was also kind of buggy as a music player. Only the audio-correction itself worked really well. I can still run it on Big Sur 11.2.2, so someone at Sonarworks must have flipped the switch on.

Sonarworks SoundID Listen for Mac, is a replacement for True-Fi, but it does not work (driver can't load).

Sonarworks Reference 4, is a 'professional' version with less supported headphones, has a Apple Silicon beta-release that works (driver is ported and loads). This is the only improvement since I opened this (and other) tickets about Sonarworks software.

Great!

Add any issue links and/or screenshots you can get of loading or other issues so we have a paper trail on why we believe the given status for each app and then we can move to the next step
