HELP! Need to EQ my PC's audio (I'm ~deaf)

Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech (More info?)

I'm trying to use Skype for internet calls, and with a high quality headset
it's *almost* possible but unfortunately, I have huge auditory losses. At
home I run television/stereo audio to a graphic equalizer, then to a
wireless headset transmitter, then to the headset - works more or less okay.
But at work I use a notebook and travel a lot, so my preference is to find a
software equalizer that can interrupt the audio stream, apply EQ, etc.

Is there such a thing?

Thanks, gurus!
