BP1048 DSP modules - issues with software

Hello guys,

Recently I learned about a Chinese DSP BP1048 chip and thought that it could be a cheaper alternative to ADAU chips by Analog Devices.

To test it, I bought two modules containing the chip:

1. BDM3P by Wondom
2. some generic no-name module (see attached photo)

To operate it software called ACPWorkbench is required. Initially I downloaded version 2.24.2 from 2021 provided by aliexpress seller, later I found newer version, 2.43.3 from 2024 I think.

I watched a video tutorial about this software, link below:


And what is strange to me that first of all, I don't have all the options that they are showing in the video (for example: my boards don't have any GPIO options available, also there is no possiblity to adjust L and R channels separately).

Also even though the two modules I have use the same exact chip, for each of them I get different options in the software!

I thought that perhaps FX list contents depend on on which peripherials are activated? But I can't seem to find relevant settings. For example, module 1 uses 3 regular potentiometers connected to ADC to control volume, bass and treble, but I don't even see how it is set up in the software.

I don't think it's software revision issue, as the video was uploaded in March 2021, so software I have is most likely newer than theirs.
Does anybody have some experience with these chips and perhaps know about my problem?
