I'm getting vibes that this program could potentially mess up my PC. I don't know what an APO is, whether my sound card driver supports it, or if my system is in-line with the following requirement: "the application must not bypass the system effect infrastructure (APIs like ASIO or WASAPI exclusive mode can not be used)".
I just want to use the equalizer like you might on a mobile like Android.
I went ahead and installed it. It installed fine, but cannot get anything to play through my headphone jacks. I think it has something to do with IDT. I can get music to play through my Logitech speaker via USB, but not through the laptop itself.
Nevermind i figured it out, had to open Configurator, enable Troubleshooting Options, select device, and uncheck the two 'Use Original APO's. It works now, and is awesome. Thanks dev.

Thank you for reporting back so that other people visiting the forums don't just see that there may be issues but that they can be solved in most cases.
Some time ago, some people were reporting that they could not get E-APO to work with the IDT audio drivers, so it is nice to hear that it works, at least after disabling the original APO from IDT.
The virus warning from VirusTotal only shows some generic reports from 2 scanners that likely just happen because the software is not well known and some heuristics are too sensitive. Fortunately, VirusTotal at least summarizes as "Probably harmless".
Reports that E-APO could "mess up" a PC are completely unfounded. Yes, I have seen two such reports but I doubt that the problems were really caused by E-APO but that there must have been some coincidence. The way that E-APO interacts with your PC is clearly defined by registry entries that will all be removed when uninstalling E-APO. And even if E-APO would crash, it would only take down the Windows Audio Service (interrupting audio playback but nothing else), not the whole system, as APOs do not run inside the kernel but in userspace.

...and that VirusTotal isn't finding the exe completely safe.
