SonarworksSystemwide
SonarworksSystemwide is a HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) driver for macOS CoreAudio, part of Sonarworks' audio calibration system. This driver integrates with the operating system's audio architecture to enable system-wide audio processing — allowing Sonarworks' room correction and speaker profiling technology to work across all applications rather than only within specific audio software. It processes the audio output before it reaches your speakers or headphones.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThis HAL driver is a system-level component of the Sonarworks audio processing suite and is not separately updatable. To ensure it supports Apple Silicon, you must update the Sonarworks application itself — typically via the vendor's installer or the Sonarworks Control Panel software that manages your speaker profiles and system calibration. Visit Sonarworks' website or launch the main Sonarworks app and check for updates through its built-in updater. Make sure you are running the latest version of Sonarworks that includes native Apple Silicon support for both the application and its system drivers. If you are uncertain whether your Sonarworks installation includes a native HAL driver, contact Sonarworks support directly or check their documentation for native Apple Silicon compatibility in your current version. This is especially important given the macOS 28 deadline in September 2028, when Apple will remove Rosetta 2 and Intel-only drivers will stop functioning.
