I tried reinstalling, running it with a VPN, deleting Windows State in Regedit, and much more. As I already said, the Device Selector and Editor don't open. When I open them, the interface doesn't even have time to load before it closes. It appears in Task Manager for a second along with the Windows Error Report. When I look at the Windows Error Report, it says: Faulting application name: DeviceSelector.exe, version: 1.4.2.0,
Faulting module name: DeviceSelector.exe, version: 1.4.2.0
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Error offset: 0x0000000000026d34
Usually it's about some audio device as I'm explaining here.
Well, I tried reinstalling the sound card driver, or do you think it depends on the headphones? Everything worked fine for me in the summer.
I'm not sure. I think the default devices like a 3.5 mm jack output or laptop speakers or a 3.5 mm mic input aren't the problem. It may start with some Bluetooth or USB audio device. Unfortunately I don't have the proper answer yet. And the developer of Equalizer APO probably doesn't know either. But looking at the source code of Equalizer APO it has a problem dealing with audio devices which aren't complete or are leftover after uninstalling them. Hence the idea of using registry cleaners. But I don't even know if they help.
Also unfortunate that I haven't encounter this issue myself in order to solve it and give the proper advice accordingly.
I used a registry cleaner and it didn't help. Okay, maybe I'm just not meant to use equalizer XD
That's unfortunate. I get your sentiment. Perhaps you could try my Equalizer APO issue solver (issue no. 7). It can detect, but not repair, removed audio devices of which stuff are left in the registry. But after successful detection is still difficult to resolve the issue as you need to manually delete the trouble audio device from the registry.
Other options are using the DISM and SFC commands of Windows. But I don't have any experience with these tools. Both are used for repairing Windows and as such they can be dangerous I guess when not used properly.
omggg it all worked for me thank you buddy I love you
No problem. That's just great! How did you solve it?
I solved it with the help of your program
Wonderful 😃
