A good suggestion. Sadly the same result. I just tried some from a backup done in Febuary. I briefly considered restoring to that image for the whole system to experiment with selective manual updates to see what caused it but that's a bit too much work I think.
EAPO is working. All the basics work, vol, eq, and some VSTs still work. But a set of VSTs all from the same company have recently stopped working all at once. Their GUI opens fine, EAPO even changes the analysis waveform to what it would be if they were working, but the effect is not actually applied to the output. The plugins still work properly in other apps. I've used them in EAPO for a few years with no issues until now. A common theme I know. I'm not expecting a fix but maybe I'll learn what...
