Jane and I were watching something this afternoon using the set up in our front room – laptop to HDMI monitor and audio from the monitor to the Aux in on my Blackstar ID Core BEAM amp – and it was sounding too bass heavy. I looked but I couldn’t find any way to control that. Win11 just had a volume setting, the monitor didn’t help and the amp just made the input louder, with the settings just for an instrument input rather than the aux feed.

A bit of searching recommended a program available via the Windows Store called FxSound and it provided all the EQ control I needed to get a better sound output. In this case, it was mainly rolling down the bass that did the trick. In fact, I was so impressed that I’ve also installed it on my own Windows box and it gives me extra control over the sound that I’ve been missing. I need to test it some more but thumbs up for now.
