    In Win Media player you'd use the "Equalizer" to do it.

    On any Windows operating system, you can only adjust bass and treble if the drivers for the audio device support those options.

    On Windows 7 rt click the volume icon in tray > open volume mixer > double click the Device icon.

    I use iTunes.

    Tony, I did that and got to the sounds tab, but no EQ.

    Tony, the drawback to iTune's EQ is it must be manually applied to ea tune. I'm looking for a way to give a little treble boost to the system no matter what plays (music, video,etc).

    Integrated Realtec ALC888S
    Downloaded and opened, but it's nowhere to be found.

    Read the instructions on the page I linked to.

    2. Extract ONLY rtlcpl.exe from the directory for your system (“Vista” for 32-bit Vista/7, “Vista64″ for 64-bit Vista/7)

    I just downloaded it & it IS there.

    Found it.
    Now what directory do I put it in so it will auto start when I open iTunes.
    Or where do I put it so it fires up when the computer boots (to my presets)?
    I'm wanting to give a slight treble boost (was easily set in XP, but win 7 omitted the controls).

    It should appear in Control Panel. You should be able to set your listening preference and then forget it. If not there, just run the file, set preferences.

    Well, almost.
    The settings are not staying.

    I read this, but am not sure how to do it...

    1. Download the AC’97 Audio Codecs from the Realtek website for Windows 7 (choose the ZIP-file)
    2. Extract ONLY rtlcpl.exe from the directory for your system (“Vista” for 32-bit Vista/7, “Vista64″ for 64-bit Vista/7)
    I don’t think it will matter which one you pick actually, both are 32-bit programs, both work, but they’re not the same files



    I'm fine 'till here...

    If you want to save the settings for later installations, the Equalizer presets are saved in the registry under the following key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Avance\AC97 Audio\EQ

    If you want to save the settings for later installations means if you have to reinstall Windows and your hardware you can use that exported registry key to quickly merge your presets, rather than manually configure them.
    Put it anywhere except where the sun doesn't shine! Put on another drive, cd, usb thumb drive, dvd, floppy, etc. It's a backup of your preset configuration.

    Now I get it, but how do I get the EQ settings to remain on the computer so that when I fire up they are present and active?
    Right now they aren't working. I have the Realtek EQ but it's not holding my settings.
