EQ Software?

Hey fellow NBRers,

Is there any program out there that can modify the EQ of all the sound your computer plays? I'm looking for a stand-alone EQ program, not a music player software (i.e. iTunes) with EQ panel incorporated into it.

Thanks!

 

here's a nice list of em..i'm sure you'll find something suitable..some you have to pay for some are free :

and here: http://www.topshareware.com/equalizer-free-software/downloads/1.htm

 

The first link says:
Invalid OS (Win/Mac/Linux)
Both Free & Commercial were unspecified...
...at least one must be chosenInvalid Type

And almost everything in the second link costs ~$20. Most of them are audio player + equalizer. The top one is for OS I'm assuming but only 32bit.

go to that link..up at the top menu..it has one tab that says Plug in database, click that..scroll down through the list of , go to effects and click on EQ, scroll to the bottom and click search and there will be a list of all the softwares

 

In Windows7 it's done from the audio driver and yes it's permanent.

Click the speaker icon in the taskbar and then click the speaker icon on top of the new window that opens. Then go to Enhancements.

If you have the latest Realtek audio driver (v2.44 and up) you should be able to customize it also and save the EQ profile.

You can find the latest driver here:

Hey, I have the Realtek driver 6.0.1.5915
The link you sent me doesn't let me download the driver.
And when I get to the enhancement tab, it does not let me customize the EQ, I can only choose from a list of presets.

 

I just downloaded the new driver from Realtek, but now EQ doesn't appear under the Enhancement tab.

 

I just downloaded version R2.47 and installed it on top of the old driver that I had, I think it was v2.44. I grabbed the first link displayed, the ZIP one (3 mirrors to the right side of the screen ... it says GO ). Then just extract them to a folder and run Setup (3 subfolders) and it'll ask you to reboot. Try it again if it doesn't work for you then you probably have an ATI HDMI port on your laptop and all I can think of is the link at the bottom of the list that says ATI HDMI Audio Driver version 2.42 and it probably doesn't have a User Defined or EQ option yet. I installed the latest driver on two laptops: one with intel GL960/GM965 video and the other with the hybrid nvidia 9300m gs/intel 4 series with HDMI and they both show up the EQ and they work just fine.

 

I downloaded that version and installed it yesterday. After installing it, the EQ option under Enhancements is completely gone, and my mic stopped working.

 

Quick search for your laptop specs said you have an ATI HDMI port. So you most likely installed the wrong audio driver. Look for the ATI HDMI audio driver. I don't have an ATI graphics chip/card laptop sorry. You can always consider AC3Filter as a 2nd option. I use the EQ from the Realtek audio driver and AC3Filter at the same time. Just the EQ from the audio driver doesn't cut it for me anymore... I need the AC3Filter, and I pass it thru a 5.1 surround system that has it's own EQ.

 

so there is no software to do this on all computers? some simple windows equilizer program???

 

Nope, and with good reason. To do this, the application would need to somehow wedge itself between the audio application and the audio driver. While technically that is possible, it is fraught with all sorts of potential compatibility issues.

Are there applications that I can use to set the EQ for specific programs? For examples, I don't want gunshots in games to pierce my ears, but I don't want to muffle out the high notes and rings from my music software.
