This sounds like a frustrating interaction between FabFilter’s license checking and Equalizer APO, especially since the audio only comes back after a VST setting is changed or the APO is re-initialized. The discussion here is interesting because others have reported very similar behavior after the 30-day period, pointing toward the anime world plugin running without properly seeing its license in the Windows audio-service context.
