A year on and no "oops" fix...
The fact this basic function is missing is ridiculous. MaxxAudioPro helped fix it for me. Like others, way too much bass.
It is ridiculous that you people don't get the whole point.
It has been like this for over 10 years such as Fireberd figured out why his realtek hd audio manager in Windows 7 back in 2012 didn't have the 10 band EQ. It was because his gigabyte motherboard came with creative soundblaster app that had the 10 band EQ.
If they give you 2 separate EQ --- then you are going to ruin your sound by accidentally turning both on at some time in the future.
99.9% of the time, you will enable the windows built-in EQ and then 6 months later you happen to browse through the windows menu and find Maxxaudio Pro app and the Maxxaudio Pro app has an EQ. So you are going to turn the Maxxaudio Pro EQ on and ruin your sound because you just turn 2 separate EQ on at the same time.
So they have to delete one of the EQ. How hard is it to understand.
The EQ got moved to a dozen possible places --- be it realtek audio console, HP audio app, B&O audio app, Dell audio app, Waves MaxxAudio Pro app, IcePower audio app, Sonic Studio III app, Nahimic audio app, DTS audio app, Dolby audio app...
Of course, a bunch of people got sidetracked by SouthBay_EssEff's solution. I gave him the proper solution --- his EQ got moved to either the HP audio app or the B&O audio app. But he chosed to ignore it and then gave out the most incorrect solution of getting FxSound. Sure there are instances where the premium app gives you smart presets instead of a 10 band EQ --- then and only then should you go and install a 3rd part EQ.
