Thanks for your tenacity in debugging this issue until you got it figured out! I’m just curious whether you had to contact Microsoft support to figure this out or not? Obviously Rogue Amoeba no long provides support for the Windows version of Airfoil, so it couldn’t have been them who helped you debug this.

@user490 I recently had to reset my PC to the factory default Windows 11 release, and thanks to your sharing of your knowledge above about adding the missing registry key Families, I was able to get back up and running quickly with Airfoil again, but only after it crashed on me initially, of course. But then I remembered that you left some detailed instruction on how to fix it on this thread, followed it, and got it up and running in no time. So I just want to give a shoutout to thank you again here!

In the meantime I’ve used a free app called ‘Hearing Test’ to effectively do an in-situ that’s loaded to Health and therefore used in Headphone Accommodations.
Much much better result than with the standard audiogram import (I have very dissimilar ear canals and first fit stuff is always miles and miles off for me with in-situ markedly different).

Which app worked well for you? I see several but not one that is call Hearing Test - several have those words in the app name.

It seems to be called hear me audio gram in the store but ‘identifies as’ hearing test once installed.

I just got a pair of these yesterday. I set it up for my and the music sounds great!! However, as a hearing aid, I tried it shopping in Home Depot, and it was no help at all. It was too quiet.

Buy them through the Apple Store on Amazon for a 30 day trial. On Amazon Prime Day they were £179 (£50 off) so maybe wait for Black Friday if you are looking for a bargain.

I used Mimi. It worked well for me. It integrates well with IOS and your pops up with the date you did the test when you apply it to the Airpods.

Go to the Control Center (swipe down from the screen’s top right edge), select the ear icon at the bottom, and crank up the amplification there.

I am surprised that there isn’t more on this topic on this forum. I put a smoothed version of my profile into my APP2s, and the result is serviceable, though not as good as my expensive Phonaks for ordinary conversation. This is Apple’s first shot, and I expect improvement for this basic function. But, out of the box, APP2 music streaming is much, much more satisfying than the Phonaks, and probably ALL devices, whose tiny speakers are pathetic for this function. Neither my Apples nor my Phonaks do well for speech in noisy environments.

They work really well for me, but I do only have mild-moderate high frequency loss. Streamed music is glorious, calls are much easier to follow especially when noise from the caller side, and I like the extra sharpness when used as a hearing aid. I turned up the tone towards brighter, and increase the amplification slightly at times, I expect the default fit is more towards ‘comfort’ than ‘prescription’, but they certainly work for me, and I wear them a lot. Best part is my own voice sounds sharper, and that I at least feel I pronounce words more clearly when in calls.
