I currently have this issue, not sure it’s a problem with Cubase, Sonarworks or Windows.
I bought SW Sound ID last week, installation was easy. I put it into Control Room of Cubase and used it as a standalone app on Windows desktop.
Everything worked fine!
But…when I try to change the buffersize in Cubase (what I do frequently), Cubase ignores that.
After deinstalling the SW desktop app and using Sound ID in Cubase only, I am able to change buffersize like before.
Does anybody have similar experience and maybe a workaround for setting up both, VST and app?
Any help appreciated, thanks

I always have the desktop app disabled. It is useless tbh. Although it is needed to setup an initial profile.
- You don’t need to uninstall it, just close it and set it not to auto-start on boot
- Disable Sound ID Virtual Reference Device in Device Manager
I have been requesting they make VST Plugin only installer for a looooong time.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply!
So the problem is SW, that’s what I thought, just wanted to be sure.
I like to use the app as well for referencing, but good to know that I don’t have to deinstall it, just to disable it before I run Cubase.
Thanks Phil 
Just disable SW’s systemwide from starting up . It’s not a biggy but unless you know it can be a pain , Also if you update SW while you have it in your controlroom you may find that after the update you can’t activate the SW’s plugin , just press the greyed out Delay compensation button and it will become active again

Thanks for the quick reply and update advice!
not easy to see, if you are not used to this. The solution box was checked, but obv. if greyed out is not enough;)
Done, thanks again

What’s your problem with the desktop app? Has always worked perfectly here, and doesn’t conflict with the Reference plugin in Cubase.
I can play calibrated desktop audio concurrently with calibrated DAW audio.
I’m on Focusrite hardware and drivers.
