Windows 10: Audio Endpoint "Enhancements" TAB

Hey all,I have a problem with Windows USB Audio Endpoint Driver.PC is a NUCi5TNK running Win 11 IoT Enterpise TTSC, I have a generic USB C Audio DAC on it, when first Installed the "Enhacements" Tab in the device properties showed a "Bass Boost" option which I need but after every restart this is replaced by a "Bass Management" tab which I don't want, the weird thing is that the driver Version is the same in both cases.I have to Uninstall the device and re-install it for the "Bass Boost" tab to be visible again, is there any way to prevent this?

:)

 

no enhancements tab on my speaker properties HP windows 10

Hi Manuelde,

Outdated audio driver is one of the usual caused why the enhancements tab is not appearing on the speakers properties. There are also audio drivers that don't have an enhancement tab.

To isolate the root cause of the issue, we need additional information:

• Which audio driver are you using?
• Were you able to use the enhancement tab before?
• Did you make any changes prior to the issue?

As an initial troubleshooting, we suggest uninstalling the driver using the steps below:

• Open Device Manager.
• Right-click (or tap and hold) the name of the device, and select
  Uninstall.
• Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.

Audio Enhancements

Hi Charlotte,

One step that we could try is to manually re-install the Audio Enhancement, and see if it helps. First, go to HP's website and download the latest Audio Enhancement installer (IDT) and save it to your Downloads folder. Once done, follow the remaining steps
below:

• Search for Control Panel via Cortana search and hit the
  Enter key.
• Open the Device Manager and click Sound, Video and Game controllers.
• Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall.
• Restart your PC.
• Once your PC restarts, it should automatically load all audio driver. Let it complete the process.
• Go to the Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select
  Run as administrator.

Once complete, check if you have the enhancements back and let us know the outcome.
