    I thought it was working as I increased the dB on the pre-amplification, but it was just the output of my headphones speakers; it didn't increase my microphone capture at all.
    I've tried everything possible, every property and troubleshooter, multiple devices, my audio capture has just been shot since I got all of the parts for this PC in 2022.
    Is there some reason Equalizer APO can't access the mic for my headset? I'm about to try my condenser mic, as well. Hopefully that will be able to be accessed.

    I guess you did install Equalizer APO on your mic at the Capture devices tab of the Configurator. To check if the pre amp is working you can add a device selection command and select the mic. Note that the above devices dropdown box does NOT select the device.

    Also, it can be after installing Equalizer APO onto a device like your mic it can be that Equalizer APO isn't working. For this you need to try the troubleshooting options. Do you know how to access them? And for a mic a few other things could be needed.

    When talking about Equalizer APO not able to access your mic of any other audio device, it isn't about accessing. Equalizer APO is trying (by the Configurator) to reroute the audio stream through its audio manipulation engine (equalizerapo.dll). Sometimes this isn't possible for unknown reasons. Even the developer can't say why. But most the time it works out of the box. Sometimes some troubleshooting option change is needed. For me for instance Equalizer APO has always worked out the box on my mics, speakers and headphones (for 3 laptops and 3 computers).

    If you're facing issues accessing capture devices in Adobe Animate, such as a webcam or microphone, there are several troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:

    Check Permissions:
    Ensure that Adobe Animate has the necessary permissions to access your camera, microphone, or any other capture devices.
    On Windows: Go to Settings > Privacy > Camera/Microphone and ensure that Adobe Animate is allowed to access these devices.
    On macOS: Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy tab and grant Adobe Animate access to the required devices.
    Update Adobe Animate:
    Ensure you have the latest version of Adobe Animate installed. Outdated software can sometimes lead to compatibility issues.
    Check for updates within the Adobe Creative Cloud application and install any available updates for Adobe Animate.
    Check Hardware Connections:
    Ensure that your capture devices (webcam, microphone) are properly connected to your computer.
    Try connecting them to different USB ports to rule out any hardware issues.
    Reset Preferences:
    Sometimes, corrupted preferences or settings can cause issues with capture devices. You can try resetting Adobe Animate preferences to default.
    To reset preferences, launch adobe premiere pro crack and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Cmd+Option+Shift (macOS) and click Yes when prompted to reset preferences.
    Reinstall Adobe Animate:
    If none of the above steps work, you may need to uninstall and then reinstall Adobe Animate. This can help resolve any corrupted files or configurations causing the issue.
    Check Device Drivers:
    Ensure that the drivers for your capture devices are up to date. Outdated or corrupted drivers can cause compatibility issues.
    Visit the manufacturer's website of your capture devices to download and install the latest drivers.
    Test in Another Application:
    Test your capture devices in another application (e.g., Zoom, Skype) to see if they work correctly. This can help determine if the issue is with Adobe Animate or the devices themselves.
    If you've tried these troubleshooting steps and are still experiencing issues, it might be helpful to reach out to Adobe Support for further assistance. They may be able to provide more specific guidance tailored to your situation.
