Hi. I have realtek alc885 onboard audio on my 680i sli mobo. I have the latest realtek drivers. I recently purchased a creative fatality headset and thought the sound would be much better when gaming. If i had a treble/bass adjust or a real equalizer I'm sure the sound would be much better. Is there any available for free downlaod. The headset sounds good through windows media player cuz it has an equalizer..but when playing games I'm hurtin.

My Realtek software comes with something called 'Sound Effect Manager' which is accessed through the Windows 'Control Panel'. The SEM includes an equalizer. Do you want an EQ with more bands than the default Realtek EQ has?

I have the sound manager and the sound does not cut it. Was looking for more of an equalizer where u can adjust the setting to your liking on your own. No presets. Even a treble/ bass adjust I can adjust myself ( not preset), would do. Hate to buy a sound card just to have this feature.

Er, well, I just saved a custom EQ setting in 'Sound Effect Manager', so I'm not really certain what you're looking for. Sorry about that.

Are u running xp or vista? Cuz I can't find a sound effects manager. I have sound manager, but not sound effects manager and under sound manager I don't have an option to do custom. I'm running vista 32-bit.

I'm running Vista 32-bit. I used the drivers that came with my Mobo (EVGA 790i Ultra).... It had the sound effect manager. Then I saw on the realtek website there was an updated driver. I installed it and guess what? The sound effect manager was gone, and my line in function quit :cry: So I reinstalled the older software from the Mobo disk and I got the sound effect manager back. I don't know if there is a way to get it from the Realtek website or not.

(edit)

Maybe you could check to see if there is a download available from your MoBo manufacturer.

Can't find a download available anywhere. Tried realtek and the xfx site(680i sli mobo). I have realtek hd audio manager which has sound manager in it. All I want is a custom, not preset equalizer or bass/treble adjustments. Like something w/ a slider bar.

I agree. For Vista, I've so far only seen 10-band equalizer settings on HP's dv3000 series notebook. It works only with Sigmatel's IDT ID92HD71B7.

A similar topic about the lack of 10-band equalizer on Vista drivers can be found on Guru3D.
