Need help on improving sound quality on college PC (earphones)

Hi guys, 

 

So I need help on improving the sound quality when I have my earphones in a college PC, the problem I'm having is that it sounds very 'tinny' and with lots of eco in the background. I've tried adding third party apps to Chrome but they don't do anything and I can't install third party software either as my college blocks you from doing that so the only application I can play around with is the Realtek HD Audio Manager. Can any help?

Set the EQ to flat or play around with it. U do know how sounds work right?

Or buy external dac.

So the school owns your PC? Creepy!

 

I think the problem is that there's no built in EQ program on the laptop? If that is the case there isn't much you'll be able to do about it. 

 

However, since you said you have Realtek HD audio manager you MAY have a tab that says "Sound Effects"   There MAY be a button that says change to graphic EQ.


There you can edit the sounds yourself or just play with the presets.

Of course like every PC I have ever seen appears to have a different version of the RealTek audio manager so... YMMV.

I would probably look into getting yourself an external DAC - for $100 Schiit Fulla2 is a good place to start if you are also interested in getting some nice headphones down the line as well
