EQUALIZER doesn't work

[cipher]

I must be dumb but do i need a special codec to run the equalizer in the latest build? i go to the options menu in preferences but all the bands are grayed out. when I go to audio->equalizer, the equalizer comes up but it doesn't do anything?
please help

OK if you are looking for codecs follow this thread:

If you press Ctrl + P you should get the prefferences window up and you should see Equalizer under the Audio section. Make sure the Equaliser enabled is ticked.

Hope this helps.[/url]

of course the equalizer is enabled, it just does't work. all the bands are greyed out and when i bring up the EQ and start adjusting the bands nothing happens.
do you guys even beta test your programs before releasing them?

Did you clicked on Enable EQ ?
What file tipes do we talk about, AC3 sound or MP3 sound ?

[cipher]

like i said in my previous post: EQ IS ENABLED, its checked.
it doesnt matter if its ac3 or mp3 the equalizer bands are greyed out and when i bring the EQ up when im playing a movie file it does nothing.

can anybody help? geez :x

Equalizer bands indeed greyed out, so you can't change these. Nevertheless Equalizer is working overhere.
Perhaps check if setting under rightclick > Options > Preferences > Audio is "System default"? (I would always try that first).
Play an .avi and then, with Equalizer panel active, move its most left slider (=preAmp) all the way up.
Still no difference?
