In Ventura 13.3.1 but need to use Wwise 2019.2.15 - and it always quits itself

Question

I am on Ventura 13.3.1 and need to be working in either Wwise 2019.2.15.7667 (ideally) and 2019.2.14. However, neither works. I have tried installing and reinstalling multiple times.

When clicking on either of those versions in the launcher, the Wwise icon shows up, as if it is opening, then quits itself after no more than 2-3 seconds. Occasionally, an error screen pops up for a millisecond and, by screen capturing it, I was able to see a window that simply says "Shutting down" and an empty table with columns "Bottle" and "Status".

I have read on other forums that this may have something to do with Python frameworks, but currently have it downloaded (3.11.4).

Any ideas on what else to try to solve this for either of the 2019 versions?

We have been made aware of an issue with Wwise on Ventura affecting machines running on Apple Silicon-powered devices (M1, M2), which run Wwise through the Rosetta 2 emulator layer.
This issue is being fixed and will be resolved in an upcoming patch. At this moment, the targets of the fix is 2022.1 and 2021.1. Bringing this fix to 2019.2 is not currently in the plan.

If instead you are running an Intel mac, this is not an issue we are aware of with 2019.2.15. 2019.2.14 was the last version to receive an update required to run on recent macOS. This update was the same applied to 2021.1 and 2022.1.
