Windows 7 - Cant increase bass!

**saux** · 10-28-2009

Hi,
I upgraded to Windows 7 recently, and I am having troubles achieving the same level of bass that i had in windows vista.

I use a on-board sound card and my mother board is P5Q-PRO.

Ive gone into the sound settings and cant find anything to help me.

Hello and welcome to the forums. What is your sound setup? (As in stereo, 2.1,4.1,5.1 etc.)

**saux** · 10-29-2009

I have a 5.1 set up - and I am using the Medusa Headset

Same with me, the way i got my bass to the max, is by going to the HD audio control panel, go room correction, at the bottom Enable room correction, and set the decibels on the subwoofer to +10. that's the best you can get.

I cant change the level of the bass in the room correction thing...its like greyed out on 1.0

Have you enabled Room Correction first?

**saux** · 11-06-2009

yes

Maybe it's not detecting that you have a sub woofer, or 5.1 sound. not sure why tho.

when i click the bass picture to test the sound, i defitnly get some bass than, but otherwise - i never hear it

I've just found you have to deslect full range speakers in the windows 5.1 speakers configuration and bass management and redirection works..
