    No equalizer - what can I do?


    Hello,

    I had old speakers with Treble and Bass dimmers so that I could control the sound for different musics.
    However, I bought new speakers without these dimmers, and I was looking for built-in Windows equalizer but I couldn't find any.
    I opened my audio driver control panel which is named VIA HD Audio Deck and there is no equalizer there.
    Is there anything I can do?
    Maybe switch from VIA to Realtek (Does Realtek have an equalizer - or is it even possible to do that?)
    and I am not talking about equalizer in programs such as Windows Media Player because I am also listening to music in YouTube :)

    Thanks!

    Thanks but,
    This is not a real time equalizer, I have to change it everytime, then save it, then save to config etc etc I just gave up.
    I am talking about an equalizer that you can simply move up or down some bars and not mess with manually inputting numerical values which I have no idea what everything does . . .
    Any other options?

    What is the actual sound chip that you have? e.g. RealTek? IDT?, etc.

    For example, in my RealTek there is an option to set up various pre-configured EQ's or a graphic EQ.

    Under Device Manager I see these :
    -Via High Definition Audio
    -Intel(R)
    I think it's the VIA because it also has a GUI but the GUI does not have the equalizer like in RealTek

    That's why some motherboards cost less than others. In the end, you have to buy more expensive speakers, a sound card or supplement with software. Drivers are hardware specific.

    Well my motherboard is very cheap :)
    So I guess I just can't have an equalizer with the built-in sound chip.
    Maybe you recommend any internal sound card or perhaps even a USB sound card is good as well? (but with an equalizer :))

    That's odd. My VIA HD built in sound card drivers have an equalizer built in. I just open it up from the notification area and change the settings there. I just downloaded the latest driver from my motherboard's support website if I recall correctly.
