Way too much bass, need help

Kcesar68 · Jan 4, 2015

I don't know if I can find some setting on either my sound card, or if there is something I have to download for my headset, but I cannot stand the deep bass from it. I have a Logitech G230 gaming headset, and I can't even find what kind of sound card I have (when I check Device Manager I check under Sound, video, and game controllers and I get the following:

C-media USB Audio Device
High Definition Audio Device
NVIDIA High Definition Audio
NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM)

Anything any one can help? I've checked all over the Playback Devices and Sound Volumes Menus but can't find a thing.

Your USB headset does not use your onboard sound card at all. It is a completely separate audio device, with own "soundcard" so to speak (C-Media USB Audio device). As long as you are using USB headset, the only thing you can do is use the manufacturer provided drivers for your headset and see whether or not they have provided an equaliser in software.

Ok so let's say I plug them into the Audio jacks in the back. What can I do there?

Then it's all down to your onboard sound's audio drivers (and application). It is likely a realtek chip. You will have to adjust the equaliser in your realtek control panel.

Can you please direct me to that? I see no Realtek anywhere. Is that accessible on Windows or do I need to access the boot-up menu?

You need to tell you exact motherboard model, so I can find the exact sound card type and drivers which probably need to be installed as well (you are likely using windows drivers for your soundcard, which work but don't provide an equaliser).

99% sure it is an ASRock H61M-DGS. I tried looking it up on System Inf, but it says "To be filled by O.E.M."

Go here, and select your appropriate Windows version:

You only need to download "realtek high definition audio driver", nothing else. Install it. You should get a realtek application which would enable you to adjust many audio properties, including the equaliser.

Got the driver, set the equalizer to Treble and no more annoyingly painful deep reverb... Thanks a ton herrwizo.
