    Hey all. So I usually use external Bose speakers with my R3, but I am out of town and brought my laptop. Playing some music, and I am realizing the default configuration sounds pretty bad. Does anybody have any tips as to what settings they used in the IDT Control panel to make music sound a bit better? I know that it won't sound as good as external speakers. But as it is, only higher pitched sound gets louder, and lower things like bass and vocals kind of get drowned out.

    I know it depends on what kind of music you listen to, so I will add that I listen mostly to metalcore (and other variations of metal), with a bit of "heavy rock" as well. So if anyone has a setup they could share, I'd be tickled. Thanks in advance!

    Here's a small tip that improved sound a bit for me.
