That is your problem. BIAB is not recommended for Sonoma yet and many have problems. Please don't post full crash reports here. If necessary, those can be sent to pGM Support.

You're wrong there. PG Music ships the higher versions on USB Drives—Audiophile comes on a USB 3.0 (aka 3.2 gen 1) HDD only. There is no problem running it from these drives after running the Installer for a few /Library/Application Support files.

The OP told us his problem in the first paragraph which is Sonoma. BIAB 2023 is not ready yet but it's been announced they are working on it..

At the risk of coming off a little cranky, there is no need to give us your resume with every post.
