Computer help forum: How to enable the bass and treble controls in WinXP????

f your current audio card doesn't have the option, then you'll need to purchase a new card or get speakers that have a bass/treble adjustment. Even the cheap ones have them currently.. I've got a set at home, purchased for $15.00, which has a bass adjustment knob for the small woofer.

In addition, most media players have an ability to use their equalizer option. For example, RealPlayer has an equalizer in it's "Tools" menu. Windows Media Player 10 also has an equalizer at "Now Playing", "View", "Enhancements".

Hope this helps.

Subwoofers do make music MUCH MORE noisy than they are. If he has his own office as opposed to a cubicle, points the speakers away from others, and ensures that the sound doesn't get directed to outside loudly or to adjancent offices, he should be fine there

For #1,
if you can't find the Speaker icon in the system try that pieroot.robert is talking about, then do this:

WinXP, start menu --> Settings --> Control Panel
category view: Sounds, Speech, And Audio Device --> Sounds And Audio Device.....

**For future access convenience, in the Volume tab, check Place Volume Icon In Taskbar to put it in the system tray (bottom right for most users)

Volume tab --> click the Advanced button will complete the steps for #1

classic view: Sounds And Audio Device

the rest here is same as from double starred entry above

Win2000, start menu --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Sounds And Multimedia

**For future access convenience, in the Sounds tab, check Show Volume Control On The Taskbar to put it in the system tray (bottom right for most users)

Now you can follow #1 as posted by other poster


.

for #2, Options --> Advanced Controls. Then click on the new Advanced button as described in #2. If either the advanced button itself or the bass/treble settings are grayed out, then I believe your sound card won't let you change these settings from a software level.

Hope this helps

I tried the 3 ideas you gave but my default treble and bass is still faded. I cannot access these options through the sound system on my PC :0(.

Any ideas anyone, please?

Thanks :0)
