Windows 10: How to Reduce Bass

Hi everyone,
I recently set up my 5.1 surround sound for my PC and the sub-woofer is very powerful and almost distorts the sound, how can i reduce the bass, is their a 3rd party mixer can download?

:)

 

Looking for a MP3 Player with good Bass.

Whatever you do to the sound with the processor (or a DSP) will be a compromise if the output stages aren't up to scratch.

The only things you can do are

increase the bass level (causes clipping in loud passages - I'm guessing this is what you tried and didn't like)

compress the bass (bass will be loud enough in quiet passages, but won't be louder in the loud passages - I think this is a bit more processor intensive and complex and doubt there's any software that does it)

or

reduce the treble and midrange (you will have to turn the volume up, but if you can that's the best option as it should be lower in distortion). I would try this last idea and see how that does.

 

How can I prevent bass from reducing the rest of speakers' playback volume?

Hi,

For your concern about how you can prevent the bass from reducing the rest of speakers’ playback volume, we would suggest you to contact the
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for further assistance.

Regards.

 

Hello zakgio23 *Smile

My sub-woofer has a volume control on it for adjusting this effect. Do you have this on yours? Perhaps you can provide some details of the sound software and speaker system you are using.

 

I am using a Samsung system it doesn't have manual controls on the sub that is why software is my only choice here, i am not running any additional sound software other than whats on windows 10.

 

This is usually part of the sound chip software. Below is the picture of my soundcard software: Realtek.
First select speaker configuration that you have (5.1), then select appropriate options.

After that you can set frequencies in equalizer. You have to provide more info.

 

My realtek settings do not show that i have 5.1 ? most of the options are missing on mine?

 

Did you run Realtek settings or just Windows sound mixer? And how do you connect to speakers (optical, coax...)?

 

OK, I have to make another post or it will look like mess.

You stated, that you have Samsung system. If this is audio-visual system, you have to make correct connection (5.1) to take control over advance sound settings.

If non will work, you can use software equalizer (part of Realtek software) to adjust lower frequencies.

Edit. you can download realtek software (drivers) here. Or at your motherboard manufacturer site.

 

My speakers are connected via RCA, but i was told 5.1 doesnt work over RCA, but sound comes out of all speakers? and i was using Realtek

 

5.1 doesn't work, that means that all speakers get same signal (only stereo). Use equalizer and lower signals of 125 Hz and below for start.

 

how do i get to the equalizer

 

Install Realtek drivers. Link is in my post above. Better, go to your motherboard manufacturer site and download drivers from there. Can't help you with that, since you didn't fill in the specs of your computer in profile.

After you install Realtek drivers, you will have all the options like I have (in pictures posted before).
