Can someone help me to understand what the effect sliders do in the area that says "30" - "16k". I am fairly new to audio but do appreciate it. I want to make my audio sound a little warmer and less sharper but am not quite sure what the effect sliders do so could someone explain what 16k, 1k and all that means.

So if you want better sound quality which it seems you want, fiddling with the eq is not often the best solution

Edit: Forgot to answer, I think that is eq so it makes sounds in that frequency bracket louder I believe

Stock coolers - The sound of bare minimum

It's the EQ.

Ok so how do I make the sound warmer using the EQ.

16K is the treble, 30 is the bass range. At the moment you have the EQ set flat (on the screenie) pushing the slider up boosts the frequency and sliding it down cuts. For a 'warmer' sound you probably want more mid, so either cut some of the treble frequencies a bit (move the 16K, 8K, and 4K sliders down a bit) or you could try boosting the lower mid frequencies 250 to 500hz range. I think that should give you the desired effect.
