Tutorial: Fix V4W issue related to Windows 10


Configurator keep saying "V4W can be installed" or popup a message box "Access XXXXXX\FxProperties failed. Please take ownership of the registry key manually."

Manually take ownership the following registry key with RegOwnershipEx
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Render HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Render\{GUID} HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Render\{GUID}\FxProperties
Replace GUID with Device GUID (Configurator -> Select Device -> Copy Device GUID)
e.g. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Render\{6617710e-237b-4b0b-8d8b-4a3cfdc6f08b}

Error Technical info: Access to path ‘C:\Program Files\ViPER4Windows\LocalPreset.bin’

Run cmd as admin, type
takeown /f "C:\Program Files\ViPER4Windows" /r /d n
takeown /f "C:\Program Files\ViPER4Windows\LocalPreset.bin" /r /d n
cacls "C:\Program Files\ViPER4Windows" /t /e /p administrators:f
cacls "C:\Program Files\ViPER4Windows" /t /e /p users:f
Restart ViPER4Windows.
If this problem still exist, manually take ownership of ViPER4Windows folder and LocalPreset.bin file.

V4W audio effects still not apply on playback devices

APO Driver: https://waa.ai/apodriver
  1. Install APO Driver, find FX Configurator on start menu, select the endpoint you wanted (e.g. Realtek Audio).
  2. Backup endpoint registry first.
  3. Click "Product Config Tool". Select ViPER4Windows from drop down list, click "Apply Product Settings to Selected Endpoints".

  6. I ran the first line of the takeown set of commands as shown, NP--i tried running the 2nd command line, and it cannot fine the file. I looked manually in the designated folder, no file there--I ran a search on the whole PC, nothing found. I retried running the viper4windows program and still get an error exactly as before, saying access to the LocalPreset.bin is denied :P Now I am unsure of what to do, if anything. The program certainly doesn't remember how it was set before shutdown of the program or the pc. Is it worth it to try a removal/reinstall, or am I doomed to buzzy bass bose speakers :D

  7. lLa solución que pude hacer con el error información técnica fue ir a panel de control, opciones de explorador de archivos, en pestaña ver, desmarque la opción de ocultar archivos protegidos por el sistema operativo. después me dirijí a la ubicación de instalación de V4W y apareció el archivo LocalPreset.bin y, en propiedades le cambié la seguridad al agregarle los permisos del usuario de la PC.

  9. I am trying to install FX configurator,but it unpacks, then something is happening and then it just disappears.. I got one notice that the directory of Viper4windows was access denied, but also other directories don`t work.. Strange that after the unpacking the shown directories immediately disappear again... Is this program safe??

  11. I installed APO drivers and followed the instructions, but V4W audio effects still do not apply on Movies & TV app in Windows 10. I hope someone can help me. V4W effects apply on other apps though.

    1. It appears V4W does not work with UWP apps. Is there any way to make it work with UWP app?
