Known Issues

HOLOPHONIX Native: Issues with Bluetooth Headsets (such as AirPods)

Issue Details:
HOLOPHONIX may not work properly with some Bluetooth devices due to a mismatch in the sample rate they use, which may not be compatible with the values accepted by HOLOPHONIX. In this case, check the sample rate used by your device in the Audio and MIDI Configuration app.

Workaround:
If you have already tried using your Bluetooth device with HOLOPHONIX Native, the software might fail to launch. To unlock it, start by disconnecting your Bluetooth device from your computer, then delete the settings file located at the following path:

/Users/username/Library/Application/Support/holophonix/holophonixSettings.json
or
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/holophonix/holophonixSettings.json

After deleting this file, you can open HOLOPHONIX Native again. Please reconnect your Bluetooth device after ensuring the correct sample rate is set.
