Bug: eqMac has disappeared from the Menu Bar, with no way to open the app at all

- I have checked for a similar issue and sure it hasn't been reported before.
Describe the bug
I am finding since the latest Mac OS release, the eqMac item no longer appears in the menu bar at the top.
I have always had it in the mode that eqMac only appears in the Menu Bar.
Because of this, I can no longer access eqMac.
Things I have tried:
- Quitting eqMac with Activity Monitor and then restarting
- Restarting my Mac.
- Reinstalling latest eqMac.
- Removing other items from my menu bar (in case the issue was I had too many items)
- I have gone into my Control Center settings and nothing appears to fix. eqMac is not an option in there.
I would happily run the app as an item in my dock at the bottom of the screen, but I cannot even open the app to change this setting.
I'm having the same issue. I tried similar steps to resolve the issue.
@nodeful it won't open at all. It was set to "Status Bar" previously.
Do you have any crash reports related to eqMac or CoreAudio in Console.app? (under Crash Reports tab)
Also what if you use Exposé (like the 4 finger up motion on the trackpad or the Function button (for me it's F3)) do you see the window appear?
Nothing in the crash reports for me.
And the Audio Output device is set to the driver or not?
So something is blocking eqMac from accessing internet I think, even though it should not be a requirement to have internet, but just to check:
Visit this page in the browser: https://ui.eqmac.app/v5/success.html
Also try to run this command in Terminal.app: ping ui.eqmac.app
By any chance you guys have some Firewall settings or VPNs running?
Here you go mate:
Ok for now I have no ideas what is going on, as if it just ignores the code I wrote. Gotta love computers
All good mate, appreciate your time looking into it and providing this open source!
I also just ran sudo killall coreaudiod
to see if that did anything, but it did not.
I'm able to workaround by killing the task and re-opening via terminal;
/Applications/eqMac.app/Contents/MacOS/eqMac
@HudsonGraeme could you let me know exactly how I start it via terminal?

Yes, in terminal the command should just be /Applications/eqMac.app/Contents/MacOS/eqMac
I think I know what is happening, but not sure why.
Basically the app is trying to show you an update prompt but fails to show the prompt window.
Please just download the update here and install:
https://github.com/bitgapp/eqMac/releases/tag/v1.8.4
This should resolve your issue
Worked for me too! Thanks @nodeful
