Allowed me to boost the volume
Awesome! You may just have one problem where you need to enable SFX/EFX in configuration in order to work but other than that it works well and cpu utilization is very low.
It's open source!
Amazing, it improved my device volume!
I had to swap my speakers on my desk, and Equalizer APO works great with swapping the left and right channels of the SPDIF output of my Sound Blaster Z.
My laptop was often too quiet when watching movies or series with just the normal speakers. This lets me amplify the noise to an acceptable level, without distorting the sound too much.
I got a bit bored of neutral sound of my headphones so I also increased the bass just a little.
The included UI lets me target different output devices so I can edit the sound.
Very satisfied.
Really good system-wide EQ. Perfect for correcting speaker and room coloration. Comes with a nice interface to edit the settings in real time without having to open the text-based config files. The only drawback is that it can be slightly buggy, especially if you have external devices. You might have to reapply the configuration and reboot from time to time.
