I recently formatted my HDD for a clean install with an SSD + my old HDD. Since then, I can't get Equalizer APO working again. I don't seem to have any error messages in the log (aside from "2014-09-10 17:35:36.137 5632 2EA6D060 (FilterEngine.cpp:323): Error while reading configuration file: The system cannot find the file specified." which seems to have stopped after an install). I looked at some other threads and saw that there were registry values that needed changing, but I'm not 100% sure what to do. Am I correct that the registry values are the issue?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Since it's a clean OS installation in question, is a VC++ (version) runtime component library needed to run EqAPO succesfully (or are the needed runtime components installed automatically by EqAPO installer)? I've noticed that software done using VC++ executes without warnings/errors even required redistributales are not present ... but does not work of course.

As the log file shows, the APO is actually run, so the problem can not be missing dependencies. Anyway, the dependencies of E-APO are installed directly to the installation directory to avoid such complications. For VC++ there are the msvcr100.dll and msvcp100.dll .

I guess you already tried this, but when you change the preamp value in the config.txt, while audio is playing do you notice no change? And do you see the change of the preamp value in the log file? (a line like
Hi,

Attached registry file for the MMDevices/Audio/Render tree
The registry values look unsuspicious. Please enable trace messages (described here) and attach the resulting log file after playing some audio.
Nothing looks awry, but it still isn't working. :(

should appear between the other log entries with exactly the dB value you entered)

I'm on Win8.1, using an NVidia GTX 970 as the audio device. I'm also finding that editing the config file has no impact on running audio.
I've enabled tracing, but there is no logfile. Benchmark.exe picks up settings correctly from the config.txt file.
I've added my mmdevices tree. I don't think the APO is installed/working at all at this point?
