"how to fix manual equaliser which keeps turning off: how to stop manual equaliser from turning off each time a new song plays?? i have changed each song in the library to have an EQ similar to the manual setting however it is not the same and i am looking for a more permanent fix"

If the Equalizers Won't Work:

Preset Songs:

The equalizer’s settings apply to all songs until you change the settings, except for songs that have equalizer presets assigned to them.” Is it possible that when the equalizer stops working it is on a song that has a preset?"

Tried setting all songs to custom EQ, it still doesn't work.

Finally ditched internal EQ and tried eqMac, it works flawlessly.

Thank you for the followup reply.

Troubleshooting Automatic Equalizer:

A. Single-Out this Device:

What happens when you play these files on another device? Do you still get the same error? If so, then it is the file giving you the issue. If not, then it is the settings in this device giving you the issue.

B. Re-Download this:

Are these downloaded files? If so, remove the downloaded, and then download them again.

C. New iCloud Session:

Sign out of iCloud on your device, and then sign back in.

D. New Administrator User:

For temporary troubleshooting, create a new Administrator user, seeing if you still get this error after playing it. If so, then it is an issue with the current user. If not, then it is an issue with the app.

E. Boot in Safe Mode:

Boot into Safe Mode, seeing if you still get this error. In Safe Mode, Login Items do not open at log in, and system files (i.e. caches) are intentionally fixed. Then, log back in, seeing if it then works.

Strange bc iv been using that website for years and iv never had this problem iv deleted the song and used a different yt to mp3 website instead B) hopefully it is fine now :)) thank you for your help"

You are welcome.

Incompatibility seems to be the culprit here. Having not touched this for some time, a newer operating system or updated software is what fixed this.

Excellent job troubleshooting!
