You can fine-tune the settings later, or turn off EQ. Click “Save” and “OK” then enter a filename (eg trebletest) to keep the settings, and see how the changes affect the sound.
To start with, all the sliders will be level, but you can move them to reduce the bass and increase the treble.
You should now see a set of sliders that change the loudness at different frequency ranges. This is the command to “Change to graphic EQ”. Look to the right of this box, skip the Reset button, and click on the rectangular button that shows a tiny screen. The bottom half of this page offers an equalizer to adjust the different frequencies in the sound, though it will probably be set to “”.

MarioĪ PC is a poor source for hi-fi, but that probably doesn’t matter if you mainly want to change the sound to suit your ears. Our speakers are cheap Creative MF 0055 2.0 Series. Our operating system is Microsoft Windows 7, default device: Realtek speakers. We use our PCs to listen to classical music as well. What are the best, reasonably inexpensive hardware and/or software solutions to improve a PC’s crappy sound? We find the audio of TV programmes hard on our ears, bass too loud, and the high notes are several db lower than normal due to our age.
