On an iPhone 15 Pro (iOS 17.1), screen recordings with EQ on and off showed the same 60 fps capture, the same video cadence and no audio dropouts.\n\n### Setup\n- **iOS 17+:** EQ starts on its own after install. If **EQ Status** doesn't show `path=ioproc`, play some audio and use **Tools → Enable System EQ**.\n- **iOS 14–16:** EQ starts with mediaserverd.
