I don't know either. For a mic it could that your recording/streaming app wants exclusive access to it. But I can't remember if someone had such an issue.

Sorry for the rather late response. Thanks for the detailed description. I opted for a percentage as I don't know if a dB value is good enough as this may differ from system to system. So I'm happy to hear that it's quite workable. Perhaps the slider needs to be wider for more accuracy. In principle all 3 checkboxes should work, well it does in Windows 11. The taskbar icon flashes when Peace isn't the top window so when you can't observe the Peace state on the main window. The tray icon flashing...

That's right. But we don't know what the VST3 limits are for Equalizer APO. It would nice when the developer responds on this.

That's great to hear, Dylan. Thanks for sharing.

I guess you start with my solver and let it detect if anything is wrong. If it doesn't detect anything concerning the audio devices you could do the Windows restoring. But be sure that you have backed up all files like your documents. I'm no expert how to restore Windows or cleaning things up.

Resetting your PC might do the trick as Windows could do a cleanup and/or a fresh install of all audio devices. Although I'm not sure of this it sounds logical. Btw. Peace won't work on an audio device if Equalizer APO isn't installed on it. With Peace you can avoid the specific issues of the Configuration Editor. But solver app can resolve all these issues. Only in some rare occasion Peace works while the Configuration Editor is complaining that Equalizer APO isn't installed on the target device...

I wish I encounter this issue myself so I can make a good fix. For me Equalizer APO has always work (14 years of use!).

Not really. I've studies the source code of Equalizer APO and it should just be changed to another approach of getting the specs of audio devices. Or at least, it shouldn't crash at some faulty audio device registry keys. Well, speaking about registry keys, I guess if you happen to know which audio device is presenting the issue you could manually delete it from the registry. But here lies the problem, there isn't an easy way to know which device or devices are causing the issue. Besides, there might...
