Can't get it to work for some reason. No problems with any other vst. Morphit, fabfilter, everything works; Sonarworks doesn't. It loads up, I can set the parameters, the Analysis panel in the configuration editor shows the curve being altered but there's no actual change in audio.
Any ideas?
Does config.txt include command string for the Sonarworks plug-in and have you looked the EqualizerAPO log file if there are lines reporting errors related to VST module?
There's a chunkdata string in the config file, similar to that of other vst plugins. There's no log file present in windows\serviceprofiles... , so I assume there haven't been any errors reported.
As I said, equalizer apo seems to think everything is working fine. It even shows the curve changing as expected by the applied settings.
Looking into the plugin itself, I don't see any action in the input meters, which leads me to suspect audio is not being routed to it for whatever reason.
The plugin itself is working perfectly fine in other vst hosts however such as reaper or foobar2k. Still clueless as to what's breaking it under eq apo.
Have you enabled the log feature ?
EqualizerAPO writes few lines to the log file every time you start audio player.
Tried posting the log as pastebin link, but links require moderation it seems. Lemme try again as attachment.
In the attached log I add the plugin to the config, play with the parameters of the plugin, then play some audio with the plugin enabled and finally disable/enable again a couple times.
edit: original pastebin log up now too. the log attached here is in stereo mode for peace of mind.

No, hadn't. Just checked if there was one created out of an error.
Did now tho. Here's the result.
Should mention that the interface was set to 7.1 when I made the log, but that's not the problem. For once I've tried it previously in stereo mode and it didn't make any difference and besides, other vst plugins work in 7.1 no problem.
You load Sonarworks from Z: drive ... are you loading those other plug-ins from location found under \EqualizerAPO directory or some other locations?
All the vst plugins I use in eq apo are in the same folder in z: drive. Rest of them don't have any problem with that. Doubt it has anything to do with sonarworks not working either.
