Sandboxie VS AutoEq

I used to use sandboxie so I could emulate multiple browser sessions without worrying about cached creds or the different portals screwing up my context. It works decently.

Use Sandboxie on Windows. It's open source these days, and isolates processes from making changes on your system. It's perfect to install and run potentially unsafe programs. Sandboxie exists since 2003, and yet we still have people in business worlds running viruses from mail attachments.

Sandboxie

You can allow applications inside a Sandboxie to communicate with each other through sockets even when network access by Sandboxie is blocked1. You can enable Sandboxie network access and use Windows firewall outside Sandboxie to block all applications inside the Sandboxie from accessing the network1. It is also possible to specify ports that cannot be accessed by boxed applications2. However, it is not possible to specify IP’s or IP ranges that cannot be accessed by boxed applications2.

In addition to just taking all privileges way from the process, like Chrome does, there's also Sandboxie [1] and the official Windows Sandbox [2]

VirtualBox dropped 3D acceleration for old OS like XP a while back, you can see it it running "dxdiag" on your windows XP and running the tests, it will do DirectDraw only since the game is a 32 bit windows game it should run on modern windows like 10 and 11, I saw that the main problem is the DRM, so you will need a "cracked/pached" exe, I can't help with that, but do your own search, if you want to be "safe" you can try running it using something like SandBoxie-plus https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/releases

With those pre-reqs, is there anything Windows Sandbox can do that Sandboxie can't?

Could you pls. test if the vulnerability can be mitigated by using Sandboxie-Classic (that is the free version)?

I also want to recommand this piece of small software but it's very neat, Sandboxie: https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie

I'm trying to follow this general process of EQing laptop speakers, which cites the AutoEQ Github wiki for digitizing a frequency response graph and converting it to CSV. The OP references converting the graphical data from an A-weighted scale to the dB scale, as well as interpolating more data points on their 20-frequency graph. Even without worrying about interpolation, I tried to follow the Github guide and just got hopelessly lost.

I have a topping dx3 pro+ and use https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master to play around with EQ's

jamesdsp/ An audio effect processor for PipeWire clients. It also uses presets from AutoEq.

what u can do do is go here https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/tree/master/results, pick and download the file for ur headphone and add it in APO equalizer as a second "graphic equalizer with variable bands" that will correct the first EQ with a curve made for ur headphone

Parametric EQ apps for Android can be googled, I use PowerAmp. The Qudelix takes care of all of that with its app to the point where you can load from a giant list of EQ sets they made from community data - Not all of it is accurate, better to go to the source. You can find EQ presets on the oratory1990 subreddit, Amir’s reviews for that particular headphone on Audiosciencereview and crinacle’s as well as rtings here: https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/blob/master/results/INDEX.md

I always recommended hearing before buying, but I'm assuming you can't try many in person so use AutoEQ to get an idea what you like - https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq

https://rogueamoeba.com/soundsource/ (this has parametric EQ but it's a bit buried IIRC. It also has built-in support for AutoEQ according to this page so you might have to do almost nothing if you like the Harman curve)
