▷ Equalizer in windows 10: how to use it and best tricks

Almost all of us like to have the best possible sound on our team. If we have just shared a brand new sound system to install it in our room, surely we want to fiddle with all its options until we find the sound that we like the most. Today, in a new step by step , we are going to teach you how to locate and activate the Windows 10 equalizer so that you can configure the sound to your liking.

Although it is true that practically all motherboards already have within their controllers the possibility of customizing the audio output using their own equalizer, not all users have these advantages. Furthermore, they may not even have the specific program installed to do these actions. We can also find our own equalizers in the controllers of the same audio output devices, usually the mid / high range.

If your case is not one of those we say here, you also have the opportunity to access the internal Windows 10 equalizer.

Open equalizer Windows 10

By intuition this should be found somewhere within the sound options of our equipment. so we will go inside. We will have a few options to get here:

For this the first thing will be to open our start menu and write "sound".

Then we press Enter and the window with the list of sound devices connected to our equipment will open directly.

Another way to get here will be from the taskbar. Locate the speaker icon and right click on it

We will have to click on "Open sound configuration" to access the configuration panel.

Now we are inside the configuration panel. Just below the volume bar we will have two links. We have to click "Change other sound options". In this way we will be on the same configuration screen as in the previous method.

Another way that we can enter is through the control panel. To do this, we write Start "Control Panel" and press Enter. If we change the view of this window so that the options are shown by icons, we will have to locate the one with the title "Sound", it is almost at the end. Once again, we will enter into the same window.

Well being in the device window, we locate our speakers, audio equipment or headphones. To do this we look at the name of each device and that the icons are not grayish. If the speakers are the sound output, they will be marked with a green “check”

Once this is done, we right-click on the icon and enter "Properties". Again, another window will appear with a series of tabs at the top. We are interested in "Improvements".

Here we must take into account a number of things:

• If our device is connected via USB and has its own sound control software, we will not have the equalizer option available for it.

• It is possible that several connected devices appear, for example, the sound card itself, in addition to the speakers. For the changes to take effect we must select the device itself, that is, the speakers.

• If we connect normal headphones, possibly the system detects them as speakers too, in which case we will have no problem applying the equalizer.

In any case, if there is the possibility of having an equalizer, we will have to go to the "Improvements" section.

Within this a list of elements will appear, we must select "Equalizer". And further down we will click on the ellipsis to open it.

Now every time we choose an option or modify the level of any of the frequencies, it will be reflected in the way we listen to the sound.

To store a personalized profile, we must give the "Save" button a name. In this way we will have the sound we like. These levels, the ideal is to modify them while listening to music in order to differentiate each one of the actions that we carry out.
