In attached screencast, how come "Apply" button is always disabled? Issue happens after clicking "Apply" button. I don't have Immediate option and you don't have Settings. Hm hm I checked Device Manager and I see I got some exclamation marks on "High Definition Audio Controller", maybe its my driver is bad?

pilaxx@ could you please let us know the latest behavior of this issue after fixing the "High Definition Audio Controller" driver problem.

@kkaluri I tried to fix it, but no success. After reading more info about Device Manager messages, it could be that this computer is "dying".

You have two "2." steps ;)

Note: Computer does not have sound speakers. Only plugged in USB Headset.
Try: turn off computer, unplug any speakers, plug in USB headset, turn on computer, then play youtube video, apply 'Loudness Equalization'. In my case sound stops, video is ok, reloading icon appears over youtube video.

I tried it just now, and it happened again. Chrome version data:

As per comment #11, issue seems to be related to unplugging external speakers. As TE doesn't have external speakers adding TE-Hardware-Dependency label.
Requesting someone from Internals>media team to help in further triaging this issue.

Thanks!

media team doesn't have external speakers either. 
add dale to see if there is any hint.

MTV team, can you help triage this bug? media TE doesn't have external speakers. thanks

no response from MTV team.
Dale, do you happen to have external speaker or USB headset can trigger system Speakers Properties => Enhancements tab 
I don't have necessary hardware to bring up this setting.
