Headphones are now silent after cmd #24

Hello, after pasting the cmd into the powershell my headphones went silent and now I can't hear anything coming from them, also the loud eq page is just a blank white space. Is there any way I can revert the changes?

When I remove my HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Render\[MYDEVICEID] folder, my driver does recreate a new one with a different ID on reboot. But every driver behaves differently.

You can also just remove the keys which are documented in the README. Without them, my driver does use the default values. And if I remove the wrong thing, it falls back into recreating a fresh folder with a new ID. So quite good, but I can only tell about how my driver behaves. Every software will behave differently.

In worst case your driver doesn't handle configuration flexible at all and will blue screen. So everything is possible. So instead of deleting it would be more save to export the folder before deletion to be able to restore it in safe mode, if your driver is extremely unstable.

Please give the community feedback about what happens during your changes to put it into the known issue section

If you have trouble finding everything, $env:temp\SoundEnhancementsTMP.reg does contain which values got set (overwritten)
