Hello, I am using HARK 3.5.0 on Ubuntu 20.04.6 and trying to run the offline sound source localization (SSL) example from the HARK 2024 tutorial practice 1 on hark website. I use the same files (practice1.wav, tamago_rectf.zip, practice1-1.n) but I get constant 0° azimuth on the source localization graph (I also attached the graph). Also here is my hark status log after stopping example:

What I am missing? In log it says “No node class with name ‘LOOP0’ found” but have no problem executing the previous example practice 0 with my RASP LC which works fine and outputs the same warning. I also tried to change THRESHOLD and number of sound sources parameters but this didn’t change anything. What I am doing wrong? please help.
