I only have the minimum of enhancement going. I don't even have any equalization, at least not through the sound card, only through Winamp. As far as Winamp, my player, and the part it might have to play in the equation, I don't even have surround sound on at all, because I am using an old school analog stereo receiver. So, I am open to even more suggestions. Thanks much, Larry On 2/26/2016 7:28 AM, Tim Aune wrote: > Try going in to control panel and go to sound link and click on your > sound card.
