Windows 10: Sound EQ settings keep getting deleted

A problem I've been having for a long, long time now and I forget to come here and ask about it Google search wouldn't turn up any info on this is my EQ settings getting deleted after some of the periodic major updates to Win10. Any PC. Sounds > Playback > Properties > EnhancementsThose settings set in the Sounds applet. I configure the EQ for better sound out of any current or past laptop for better sound, and major updates seem to delete them every time. If I add stuff to the Desktop Context Menu, they, too, sometimes need to be added back in just a couple of clicks from a .reg I

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

What EQ do you use?

I've been using my Creative Console EQ for years and years and years...it works so well. But I hate setting it to flat or off for gaming (otherwise wayyy too much bass). The stock EQ's in Winamp and Foobar SUCK! You add some bass to the EQ and both seem to suck the power out of the mid and treble range...it sounds like a loss of power in the rest of the range and distortion in the EQ'd range without even coming close to what the Creative EQ does. I've noticed this effect with onboard EQ solutions, Winamp, Foobar, etc. But my Creative EQ doesn't have this effect, it keeps the whole range energized in a sense.

But I am thinking I may want to just go with an EQ for my music and no EQ for everything else...at least to try. Anyone have suggestions on this? I'm researching Foobar EQ's, and even other system integrated EQ's that may be more tuneable. I really like the Creative EQ but at the same time I hate the Creative Console! I don't use the CMMS-3D or any effects...I use volume and EQ. Suggestions? What are you using? And go!
