Can I hit up the hivemind with a Windows Audio question?

[cvanc]

Good morning all-

When at my desk I wear headphones which are driven by a small USB DAC/headphone amp thingy. I would really like to add some kind of tone controls to this feed so I can adjust it a bit.

Other than weird spatial "3-D" effects I have found exactly zero tone controls built into Windows itself. Does anyone know of a way to add some? I'd be perfectly happy with simple bass & treble but hey if you've got a 48 band parametric plugin share that darn thing ":^)

Thanks!

What are you listening to? What file type, what software is it played through?

If it's something that can be played by VLC, it has a graphic eq.

WinAmp also has built-in tone controls (Link).
Note: The 5.8 Beta was released by Nullsoft because the dev version was leaked to the Net. I use it and it's fine, but if you prefer the last "Full" release then DL version 5.6.6 Final.

Most stuff is via Chrome (news articles, YouTube videos, ... ) but also Amazon Prime & even an occasional optical disc.

I found this. VLC has a lot going for it as a media player. Apparently you can use it to play streams as well

+1 for VLC. Good solid bit of software.
