SherlockEQ 0.6.6
SherlockEQ 0.6.6
A reliability release. The main fix is for audio that didn't come back cleanly after your Mac woke from sleep — most often after sitting overnight. In that state the audio engine or the system-audio tap could fail to start, leaving SherlockEQ silent until you toggled it off and on or relaunched. This release detects those momentary start-up failures and retries them on its own, so sound returns without you having to do anything. Nothing changes in how EQ, profiles, or safe-listening work.
Fixes
- Audio reliably restarts after sleep and wake. After waking from sleep, the audio engine and the system-audio tap could occasionally report a transient start-up error and stay silent. SherlockEQ now retries these momentary failures with a short back-off on both start paths, and recovers a tap that didn't come up — so audio resumes on its own instead of needing a manual restart.
Under the hood
-
Equalizer filtering now runs on Apple's Accelerate framework.
The per-ear equalizer cascade was moved onto Apple's maintained
vDSPsignal-processing routines. The sound you hear is unchanged — this keeps the audio path leaner and easier to maintain.
Not a medical device
SherlockEQ is not a healthcare or medical application. It does not diagnose, treat, measure, or monitor any hearing condition, tinnitus, or disability. For concerns about your hearing, consult a doctor, audiologist, or licensed healthcare professional.
