eqMac: Bug: Not Starting on macOS Big Sur
Disclaimer
I am aware that I am running a beta version of macOS, I just thought I’d report this so that it can be fixed ideally soon, but for the upcoming release at all. Especially since nowadays Apple is releasing public betas and those are available like 3 months before the public release and it would be too bad if eqMac would not work till Sept/Oct.
Describe the bug
When installing eqMac on macOS 11.0 Big Sur Beta 1 and 2, the program does work sometimes (weirdly enough) but then other times it does not start at all. The console prints the following when trying to launch via terminal:
$/Applications/eqMac.app/Contents/MacOS/eqMac
2020-07-08 10:17:41.901 eqMac[8116:132180] Sentry Started -- Version: 4.5.0
eqMac (Source/Application.swift:184) Setting up Audio Engine
Error: 2003332927 -> /Users/romanskisils/Programming/Bitgapp/eqmac/native/app/Source/Audio/Sources/System/Driver.swift:123
ERROR: SentryCrashMachineContext.c (232): void sentrycrashmc_resumeEnvironment(): thread_resume (0000d807): (os/kern) object terminated
[1] 8116 segmentation fault /Applications/eqMac.app/Contents/MacOS/eqMac
Manually installing the driver anew, prints:
$ sudo /Applications/eqMac.app/Contents/Resources/install_driver.sh
Device not ready yet, waiting...
Device not ready yet, waiting...
Device not ready yet, waiting...
Device not ready yet, waiting...
ERROR: Device did not become active
Another weird thing about this all: the driver is actually running and is visible in the Activity Monitor as a Core Audio Driver process.
Steps to Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour (feel free to change the placeholder as you need):
- Install and Open on Big Sur
- Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.
- Restarted macOS sometimes it let’s eqMac launch, sometimes it does not?
Expected behaviour
eqMac should just start every time and work?

- Audio device used for playback: LG Ultrawide monitor (USB-C conencted), Internal Speakers, Headphone Jack connected headphones. Problem is visible without and with devices connected.
- Audio transmission interface: USB-C to Ultrawide
- macOS Version: 11.0 beta

same here…
I am triaging & trying to fix all open issues before release of eqMac v1.0.0. Excuse the wait. I have experienced some intermittent issues on my Big Sur machine as well during development so will be looking into it in the next coming days. This issue will be the main one that I will referring duplicate issues too.
I have the same issue. Would be great to know if there is anything we can do about it. I really enjoyed the app in the past and would like to use it with Big Sur as well.
Also have had this issue, consistently on Big Sur 11.0 Beta 4 (20A5343i).
Thanks for being patient with me. I have just released v1.0.0. You can download it here: https://github.com/bitgapp/eqMac/releases/tag/v1.0.0 Or from the website: https://eqmac.app Could you please let me know if this issue is still present. Thanks again.
