How to adjust Bass and Treble in Windows 11?

By definition, all windows 11 compatible computers will have DCH drivers which has its audio configuration done via an app downloaded from Microsoft Store.

If your Realtek audio console app (or HP audio app or Dell audio app or Waves audio app) doesn't have EQ, it means that your specific computer model has a premium audio package (such as DTS or Dolby or Nahimic) and your EQ is going to be in the premium audio app.

If the premium audio app doesn't have the traditional 10 band EQ, it means that your computer maker decides not to give you a traditional 10 band EQ. Instead it gives you some smart EQ pre-sets. So when you pick the movie pre-set, it automatically EQ your audio to enhance movie dialogs. When you pick the gaming pre-set, it automatically EQ your audio to enhance explosions.

Thank you, that's good information that a half dozen contacts with Microsoft- none knew that. As I wrote earlier, I solved my problem by getting a third-party app that installed easily and works great.

That Microsoft or Dell hide or choose to not provide an equalizer is a big disservice in my view. Folks like me with hearing loss in multiple ranges can make adjustments that make music enjoyable again. Shame neither company sees it that way- I've written to both. Crickets...

Not looking for advice at this point, resolved when I found and installed FxSound.

Same problem here. Deaf in one ear, barely hear out of the other. Very frustrating and seems it would be an accessibility issue that MS dropped the ball on. HELLO Microsoft, there are hearing impaired users that NEED to be able to adjust bass down and treble up (in most cases) to be able to understand what is being said!

My problem exactly McJohn! Is there no help or app for us?

Hey SouthBay, thanks for the tip on "FxSound" app. Why MS didn't not include a sound bar / equalizer in WIN 11 is just plain idiotic, and the project engineer that signed off on this program should be fired. I am a project engineer, and this is one of the main requirements that I would insist be included in WIN 11. This is unbelieveable, but I downloaded "FxSound" and it works great. It doesn't much but five minutes to write a code and include it.

Two months ago I bought a pair of speakers to use for personal training so that I can hear the videos clearly, without using headphones. The FxSound app works great! Thanks again for the tip.
