Hi. So yesterday i updated Windows 10 to 1903 (which i regret) and i immediately noticed that my audio equalizer didn't work... So my question is: Are there ANY similar softwares that are free and as good as Viper? I really dislike the stock audio of my headphones.

Check out EqualizerAPO, it's what i use if i need anything to do with EQ's. https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)

I've already tried it and i hear no difference when changing stuff. I've got 0 patience to try and fix it.

Take a look at this video: (it doesn't work for anyone, god i hate windows audio -_-)

If not, you're gonna have to pay for something such as Boom3D, or toy around with equalizerAPO.

I don't really know what is going on but i don't even have the ''enhancements'' option. I've only got General, levels, advanced and spatial sound. I would gladly buy Boom3D especially now that it's on sale but sadly i've got no money for it.

If you delete your sound drivers with DDU and delete viper, reinstall it all does it not work?

I had problems with my realtek sound drivers, mic and sound in general was suddenly much lower volume. Works perfectly now.

This is what it'll look like, you first install the Equalizer then restart and then Peace; the colour pallet is a custom one that I put together in the settings.

Sorry for such a late reply but i've sucessfully installed it and got it working. My issue though is that it doesn't sound good what so ever... I just wanna boost the bass. I've played around and found a good enough setting but it doesn't have that OUMPH that Viper4Windows had.

In that case, reduce all the mid frequencies and high frequency's and boost the bass, then raise the volume of your headphones/windows

I'm not really an audiophile so idk which are the mid frequencies and high frequencies. An example picture might help atleast a tiny bit.

Here's a graph:

Essentially everything above about 150hz just lower the volume/amplitude of it, then lift anything below 150hz, then adjust to your liking.

@Derkoli Thanks. I'll try and play around and see if it sounds any better. I'm extremely sluggish when it comes to these kind of things so wish me luck or whatever. lol

Just ask for any help/guidance if you need any :)
