No Affiliate Relationships

This site does not currently use affiliate links. The Equalizer APO installer offered here is the developer’s unmodified release, published with its SHA-256 hash. Peace is linked to its SourceForge project page. If that changes in the future, any affiliate or sponsored link
will be clearly marked at the point it appears.

Accuracy and Testing

Guides on this site are based on hands-on testing on the hardware and
software versions described in our About Author & Methodology page. Audio
software, Windows updates, and hardware drivers change over time, and a
step that worked at the time of testing may behave differently after a
future Windows or software update. Each guide shows a “Last tested” date
and version numbers so you can judge how current it is.

Use at Your Own Risk

Instructions on this site — including installing third-party software,
editing configuration files, and adjusting Windows audio or registry
settings — are provided as general information, not professional
technical support. Back up your configuration before making changes, and
proceed carefully with any step involving system settings. This site is
not responsible for issues that arise from following these guides.

Audio Safety

Some presets and instructions involve increasing volume or gain
(preamp/boost settings). Pushing gain too high can cause audio clipping
and, at high volumes, can be uncomfortable or harmful to hearing over
time, or to speaker hardware. Increase gain gradually and listen at safe
volumes.

Corrections

If you find something inaccurate or outdated, please use the Contact page
to let us know. Verified corrections are retested and logged in the
relevant page’s changelog.
