Usually this is caused after installing a Windows update. What kind of mic is it? USB, Bluetooth and wired (by 3.5 inch jack)? You might uncheck the exclusive access mode checkboxes on Advanced tab (if available) of the sound panel properties of the mic (see attached image, Dutch windows version). And also try SFX/EFX then SFX/MFX of the troubleshooting options for the mic in the Configurator of Equalizer APO. Remember to restart your computer after changing such an option.

  Unchecked the boxes, still not working. I try to install my microphone under SFX/EFX but to no avail. It just keeps switching back to SFX/MFX. My mic is wired via 3.5 jack.

Okay, at least we know that the mic device driver doesn't have SFX/EFX. And good to know it's a wired mic. In that case it isn't Bluetooth or USB driver related. Anyway, perhaps we need to establish if Equalizer APO is working at all. What interface are you using? The Peace equalizer interface or the Configuration Editor? Can you in either one of them influence the volume of the speakers/headphones by using a pre amp increase/decrease?

    I guess you mean Equalizer APO is working on the other devices like speakers but not on your mic. For troubleshooting it's important to know if Equalizer APO is working on other devices else it gets more difficult.
    
    On what app do you use the mic? Have you tried to disable the exclusive access mode?
