Windows 10: No Enhancements Tab under Sound in the Control Panel.

It's not doing anything here, is it supposed to be system wide ?
Using analog Speaker output. Stereo.

 

The site behaves a bit oddly.
If you do that, then in
HOME > Downloads > Computer Peripheral ICs > PC Audio Codecs > High Definition Audio Codecs > Software
click
High Definition Audio Codecs
you should eventually get there.

 

Hi, with the Realtek driver provided by my laptop manufacturer, no enhancements. But with the direct download from the site.. magically they appeared. So are you saying you tried the direct download from Realtek & it didn't work for you?
Alas I have no idea if it will work for everyone.

Thanks for the equaliser idea.. looks good!
Peace, GUI for Equalizer APO download | SourceForge.net

 

No enhancements on my Gigabyte X58 MB but the EP45 did as does my not ASUS x99 MB, but it does not matter what driver I install eg the R279 or the latest ones in the Driver Thread the CP>Realtek >SoundManager stays labelled Gigabyte , and there are no changes or enhancement there or in Window's Sounds Applet under speakers etc .

I am currently using .7926 Drivers and they are good and seem louder than previous versions . The R279 are over a year old now , it seems the Realtek FTP Site and Windows WHQL/Windows Update Catalogue is the other way to get the newest ones.

EQ APO works well , once that is installed , just run the PEACE GUI File in the Equalizer APO Config Folder and it sets itself up and you use it , not EQ APO for all settings etc.

Ok, two downloads:
Equalizer APO download | SourceForge.net
and
Peace, GUI for Equalizer APO download | SourceForge.net

Thanks

 

Yes it is Peace you see in my Pics above

If you are a diehard Audiophile you might want to play with EQ APO on it's own but Peace is easy to play with and will self adjust Peak if you let it.....

 

Excellent. Did what was said above and that solved my problem. All sorted! Thanks to everyone.

 

There is two pages above ....what did you do? ............... so others will know when they read the thread please.....

.. sthg I noticed- if you have Realtek enhancements and install Peace etc equaliser, you lose the Realtek enhancements. There was a message at one point about a registry conflict when I installed the Peace equaliser.

 

If you Run the Peace EPO Configurator ( checked in Pic above) you can choose what Peace is and isn't applied too , eg may just speakers and not the digital Outputs or Microphone etc.

I did run that in order to get the PEACE equaliser to work. Just not both together... but I didn't really want both- just thought I'd mention the observation.

 

must be how it interacts if you do have Enhancements already , Running Peace.exe in the Config folder set it up for me , I just run the Configurator Later to check what was and wasn't enabled.

so is it my understanding which one is better EQ equalizer APO with peace or realtek sound stuff? as i was looking for a way to boost mic gain audio on my USB mic on windows 10 and i understand equalizer apo can do this stuff.

 

Presumably you've already done this? (I've not used a USB mike, so assume this would apply to that)




I don't think Realtek adds anything here- this seems to be a control for the same thing:

 

I wish it did but usb mic don't have the mic boost option.
