Author Topic: Computer Bass Problem with Headphones  (Read 2608 times)

Alright, I need some help with bass working on my headphones. I can plug them into any other computer and have crazy 24db bass boost on, but on my computer, not only does it only go up to 12db bass boost, it simply doesn't boost the bass at ALL. I've gone to the sound tab in control panel, configured my headphones, but when I go to bass boost in the "enhancement tab" and put it all the way, it doesn't allow me to "apply" the settings. Nothing changes at all. Now for every other computer I've done this for, It always makes me apply the bass boost before exiting the sound configuration.



Any tips on why the bass won't work? They are just some simple Sony surround sound headphones. But my beats don't work either for the bass.

Just for starters-
-The subwoofers are not blown out, despite the heavy bass intensive music I listen to :U
-I have updated all my sound drivers
-I have tried bass boosting in Virtual DJ as well as VIA HD Audio Deck

Also I only come to the BL forums for comp help when I absolutely can't find any help on google search. So unless stated otherwise, assume I googled the problem 23,000 times with different wordings.

Halp?


Are your ears damaged? The forget do you need 24Db bass on loving headphones

Maybe your sound card isn't particularly good.

This.

Also,

This.

All sound settings are controlled by your sound card, not your speakers/headphones.

Hur because I can.

Watch out, another thing Yuki disagrees with/doesn't like/think's dumb. Time for him to formulate an argument against it.

Well then, I guess its the sound card :/
That's pretty stupid how it says I can go up to 12db still, but can't use it. Shouldn't say it then.

Time to buy a new one.
