My sonic studio 3 equalizer won't work on my windows 11

Hello, i want to ask a question.

i used to have windows 10, with my asus ROG strix G15. And i use my headphones Sony WI XB400 for my daily use. Everything went perfectly, the sonic studio 3 equalizer works, and the bass boost is doing well.

But since my last update to windows 11, the sonic studio 3 is still active. I can use my bass Boost for the setting, BUT the equalizer won't work normally. As i drag the bar up and down, it won't change anything. And as far as i concerned, the audio is a bit numb despite before the update to windows 11. THe apps working perfectly as i mentioned before, only the equalizer just get me nowhere. Stuck on the same audio quality.

Is there anyone can tell me how to resolve this ? i've tried so many options thru youtube and google, and none has significant solution.

    the thing is, there is no equalizer in my realtek audio console, let me give you my screenshot :

    *please note, as right now i'm still using my sony headphone WI-XB400

    and for the reference image, here i also attach my sonic studio 3 :

    as you can see, the CUSTOM equalizer didn't have any effect on my headphones.

    Hello Stanley! My name is Abdullah, and I will assist you today.

    I am sorry to know that you are experiencing this issue. Have you tried to reinstall the Sonic Studio 3 app/driver? Please check if the below steps could you with this issue:

    1. Click on the Windows button, type Settings and open it.
    2. Go to System tab.
    3. Choose Sound > All sound devices > Choose the device (in your case the Sonic Studio.
    4. Click on the (>) symbiol to go to its properties.
    5. Scroll down to Audio enhancement and choose Device Default Effects.
    6. Restart your computer and check how it goes.

    Thank you.

    Best,

    Abdullah

    Hello Abdullah, thank you so much for your response, unfortunately i have tried your recomendation so many times and still didn't work. For some references, here i listed the solution i have done :

    1. i have tried re installing the sonic studio, didn't work
    2. i have tried to use the original Realtek High definition, by changing in sound output, in fact, the sonic studio 3 unable to use.
    3. i have tried to unpairing, re-pairing my headphone, still didn't work
    4. i have tried my other headphones, the equalizer still didn't change
    5. i have tried both using audio enhancements on OFF and Default Device Effects, both didn't work

    and many other solution in internet which i canot find "why" the equalizer did not work on sonic studio.

    i'm helpless at this point. Worst case i have go back to windows 10.

    Something that might be involved is the Array Microphones. I notice your audio drivers mention the ability to control speaker output for operation of those microphones. Have you noticed anything like that you might be able to adjust?

    They CANNOT give you 2 EQ's because you would accidentally turn BOTH on at the same time and RUIN your sound.

    That's why your realtek audio console looks different with a lot of "missing" stuff. The "missing" stuff got moved to the sonic studio 3.

    This is likely a sonic studio 3 bug, so go to asus and ask for help.

    There is also myasus app that has audio configurations as well.
