Built In Equalizer? Is there a built-in equalizer in Windows 7?
I'm looking to make adjustments, but there aren't any settings when I pull up the volume controls, etc.
I have a
C-Media AC97 Audio Device | My System Specs |

I have a
C-Media AC97 Audio Device Not with that audio chipset I believe. What kind of EQ problems are you having?

Ken +J Well, I would like to adjust the bass and treble when watching movies online, or streaming tunes.
Windows Media Player is all fine and dandy when watching stuff I own, but for You Tube, and Sirius Radio, I'd like to adjust the audio. | My System Specs | | |

I have some settings in my Realtec Audio Manager (see picture). Maybe you find some in your audio manager. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

It probably won't work with this card I have... | My System Specs | | |

Depends on the Chipset, but... There should be some options when you right click on the audio icon, choose Playback Devices, then highlight Speakers (or the output of choice) on the Playback Tab, next, choose Properties, then Enhancements, to see some of the built in mixer settings. Also, on the Levels Tab, depending on Soundcard or motherboard manufacturer you may have more or less Audio Editing Settings. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Windows 7 Enterprise x64 CPU Intel i5 750 Motherboard Gigabyte UD3 Memory 4 GB Graphics Card 1 x Nvidia GTX270 Case CM Scout |

Just an FYI, you might want to keep an eye on the date. this thread is more than 4 months old, so I suspect it has been fixed.
