| An Equalizer for Windows 7? I have three audio output devices: a SoundBlaster Audigy (for my external speakers), Realtek HD (for microphone use), and a HiFiMan EF2A headphone amplifier. I know there an EQ for the Realtek and SoundBlaster, but there isn't one for my headphone amp which I primarily use. I also know Windows Media Player has an EQ which would work great if all I ever use was WMP. Are there any recommendations for a downloadable equalizer? I listen to a lot of music through my headphones and like to make adjustments depending on what I am listening to. |

kudos:5 | Most of the better media players have good EQ plug-ins (Winamp, Foobar, etc). But if you are looking for something that is Windows-wide, that will EQ, e.g., Youtube videos and streaming Spotify songs and everything else, that is trickier... there is an old program called RTEQ, I have no idea if it's usable for Win7 but I remember seeing it being recommended for something similar a couple of years back. It's free so you could give it a shot.
I have something called SmartEQ in my control panel, but it appears to only work with my onboard sound and not the DAC/Amp...

| Thanks for the suggestion. I'm surprised there doesn't seem to be many options for an EQ for Windows. Spotify is my biggest issue in needing an EQ. |

I've gone through similar trials and the best thing I've found is Power DVD 8. I've tried version 9 and didn't like it--haven't tried later versions. I always use the "soft" setting and really like the sound it has. It was also the only program I could find that would support a 24-bit audio dvd I made of The Beatles remastered--nothing else seemed to support the format. I use it exclusively on all my systems for playback.
