Mac OS music app equalizer not working

Since my upgrade to Catalina, the Equalizer in the Music app does not work as expected. Equalization settings are only activated:

  • after you have started playing a song, then
  • manually select a pre-set (or manual) equalization setting.

After the song is over, and a new one starts playing, the equalization is once again disabled. I've had this happen on many different tracks, using many different settings in the EQ window. I've submitted a ticket through Apple's Developer website, but so far no response. Anyone out there have the same issue/have a solution?

Mac mini 2018 or later

I had a long session with Apple support yesterday and they claim it's a uknown problem.

I decided to set my absolute favorite songs and playlists with individual equalizer and it works.

Unfortunately my library is >10000 songs...
