I have a Topping EX5 DAC. I can play music files (Flac, DSD, and Streaming [Qobuz]) from Audirvana to EX5 to Stereo Receiver & Speakers. I installed VB + VB Cable + EAPO + Peace.
In VB, set A1 to "Topping USB Audio Device" and Hardware Input 2 to "WDM: Virtual Audio Cable".
In EAPO Configuator Playback I choose: (1) Output A1 - Voicemeeter, (2) Cable Input (Virtual Cable), and (3) Speakers - Topping USB.
In EAPO Configurator Capture I choose both Voicemeter Output and Cable Output
All five (5) choices show APO Installed and changing the default in Windows Sound Settings changes the default in EAPO Configurator.
In Windows Task Manager - Equalizer APO Voicemeeter Client shows up.
In EAPO Configuration Editor the config.txt file includes 1 peace.txt (see below).
In PEACE the configuration is Equalizer Default (all zeros & peace.txt is blank) and the speakers (?) is set to All Devices.
Sorry for so much info. (1st time posting).
Problem 1: In Win Sound Settings: Speakers [Topping] and Cable Input [VB Virtual] play test sounds [Properties...Advanced], but Voicemeeter Input does not. Why?
Problem 2: If Win Playback is Speakers, the sound is clean, but if playback is Cable Input I hear faint, intermittant crackles. ????
Problem 3: With Win Playback set to VB Virtual and Speakers (Topping) disabled, the following happens:
The PEACE pre-amp slider controls the volume for Chrome browser (Youtube videos), but for Audirvana (or Qobuz) it does not (no change in volume).
This probably has something to do with Windows Sound Mixer showing the Chrome App, but not Audirvana or Qobuz.
I need PEACE (VB+EAPO+PEACE) to work with Audirvana and or Qobuz (or another Windows Music Player [???])
Why am I doing this? I have on order an expensive headphone and I wanted to use some of the PEQ's listed. But no EQ is better than Problem 2, and Problem 3 means I can't use EQ and play music!
Any help, guidence, or links would be appreciated! I have spent a few hours internet browsing & watching videos with no success.
Thanks in advance,
John
