Bug: eqMac has disappeared from the Menu Bar, with no way to open the app at all about eqmac HOT 23 CLOSED

I think I know what is happening, but not sure why.
Basically the app is trying to show you an update prompt but fails to show the prompt window.
Please just download the update here and install:
https://github.com/bitgapp/eqMac/releases/tag/v1.8.4

This should resolve your issue

from eqmac.

@nodeful it worked!!!

You legend!

Thanks so much :)

from eqmac.

I'm having the same issue. I tried similar steps to resolve the issue.

from eqmac.

Can you open eqMac if you Cmd + Space and search for eqMac.app
Or open it from the Applications directory and then go to Settings and tell me which Icon Placement is set:

It should be either Both or Status Item for the icon to appear on the top bar

from eqmac.

@nodeful it won't open at all. It was set to "Status Bar" previously.

Do you have any crash reports related to eqMac or CoreAudio in Console.app? (under Crash Reports tab)

from eqmac.

Also what if you use Exposé (like the 4 finger up motion on the trackpad or the Function button (for me it's F3)) do you see the window appear?

from eqmac.

Using 4 finger thing:

I can see that eqMac is running through activity monitor

How do I find these crash reports? Sorry not sure where you mean.

Thanks for helping!

from eqmac.

Just found the crash reports...

Nothing I'm afraid.

I closed eqMac via Activity Monitor and restarted too.

I think the app is running fine. I just have no way to actually interact with it

from eqmac.

Nothing in the crash reports for me.

from eqmac.

And the Audio Output device is set to the driver or not?

from eqmac.

Do you mean this?

I think that used to have eqMac as an option, but can't say 100%.

from eqmac.

So something is blocking eqMac from accessing internet I think, even though it should not be a requirement to have internet, but just to check:
Visit this page in the browser: https://ui.eqmac.app/v5/success.html
Also try to run this command in Terminal.app: ping ui.eqmac.app

from eqmac.

By any chance you guys have some Firewall settings or VPNs running?

from eqmac.

I do sometimes have to a run a VPN for work stuff, but it has never been an issue before.

Just hit that URL and works fine (VPN is off right now, and has been all day)

Pinging fine too

from eqmac.

Also can you Sample eqMac process and send me the report as a file:

from eqmac.

Here you go mate:

Sample of eqMac.txt

from eqmac.

Ok for now I have no ideas what is going on, as if it just ignores the code I wrote. Gotta love computers

from eqmac.

All good mate, appreciate your time looking into it and providing this open source!

I also just ran sudo killall coreaudiod to see if that did anything, but it did not.

from eqmac.

I'm able to workaround by killing the task and re-opening via terminal;

/Applications/eqMac.app/Contents/MacOS/eqMac

from eqmac.

@HudsonGraeme could you let me know exactly how I start it via terminal?

from eqmac.

@HudsonGraeme could you let me know exactly how I start it via terminal?

Yes, in terminal the command should just be /Applications/eqMac.app/Contents/MacOS/eqMac

from eqmac.

Worked for me too! Thanks @nodeful
