thank you!
You have an equalizer, the area where it says <None> is a drop down menu that offers several types of EQ.
Also, the row of icons at the bottom "Pop, Club, Rock" are EQ settings.
You might have to download the latest Realtek drivers to have a "User" setting available. Some versions of the Realtek drivers only had presets. Current driver is 2.47.

Yes, the latest Realtek driver certainly has the old 10-band "graphic EQ" restored. It actually was finally reinstalled into the drivers a while back... I think with 2.43 or so.
On that Sound Effects tab, just to the right of the RESET button, there's a "toggle" icon button to choose either (a) preset EQ, or (b) graphic EQ.
And it does allow saving your EQ settings under a custom name, just as the WinXP driver could. Unfortunately there is no known way to preserve any of these custom-saved EQ settings so that they're wiped out and lost every time a new driver version is installed (through the 2-step uninstall/reinstall method that's been in place for a while now when upgrading drivers)!
Yes, annoying isn't it. I had a few saved favorites, one for DVD, one for music...etc. After the upgrade, gone!
I just keep one now.
I may not upgrade anymore as the latest drivers plus one of the Microsoft optional upgrades has fixed all of my audio issues. Right now I can run multiple audio streams, (You Tube, Winamp, WMP playing a DVD) plus browse the Internet without so much as a whimper.. the audio system feels unbreakable at this point.

Don't have anything with onboard Realtek on it at the moment, but have you given a good look through any Realtek folders that may be located in any of the three folders here,
C:\Users\Your Name\AppData
or possibly the ProgramData folder (need to have "Show hidden, files, folders and drives" in Folder Options to see both).
If there is anything there it could be an ini, xml, dat, cfg or just about any other extension.
I'll look again, but I'm pretty sure I have exhausted my ideas about where whatever it is that contains the EQ settings gets saved, including the Registry.
Nada.
Nothing seems to have a significant name or date, even after I save an EQ. I just can't find anything that corresponds to what I just did.
But I'm willing to look again.
Anyway, I've got a screenshot of the EQ I use, so at least I can manually rebuild it without too much trouble after a new driver install... though it might not be exactly 100% identical.
done! thanks to you all!
