Yes, if you build the 1.18.0 tag of cerbero

The wasapi2 plugin needs to be built with WINVER set to Windows 10,
which we can't do for the whole build because we still target Windows
7. So we need a way to set it for specific plugins. Once that is fixed
we can ship wasapi2 with Cerbero too.

There isn't enough information at present to deduce why your other
plugins fail to load.
