Move to the bottom of the page and click on the Download icon. If this entry does not appear in the Device Manager, install the Realtek HD audio driver. The driver should appear as Realtek High Definition Audio.
Expand the Audio, video, and game controllers entry. To find out if this driver is installed on your computer, press the Windows key on your keyboard, type manager, and click Device Manager at the top of the Start menu. It offers many advantages, including in particular that of offering an audio equalizer. I haven't had any success finding any tools that one can install to allow loudness equalization regardless of how the system is configured, and I have to believe that these exist as a "final filter" sort of deal.Have you ever thought about updating your audio drivers? If not, do it first.Īnyway, the Realtek HD audio driver is compatible with a large number of recent motherboards. I don't need this feature myself, but quite a few users of screen readers do, as the various applications can have wildly different volumes even when set to the same (or what appear to be the same) levels. This sort of situation occurs in many different, "mixed configurations," so the vast majority of tutorials on how to enable loudness equalization via Control Panel and the device driver dialogs simply do not apply. The situation on my system is that it has a Realtek Audio card, but also DTS Audio Control (which I could remove, since Realtek does support this in its dialog if you can get to it) which does not and blocks direct access to Realtek controls.
I've done all the research and am aware that some generic audio drivers include this feature in Control Panel, other third-party drivers include it as part of their control programs (most frequently hiding in the overflow area of the system tray), but still others don't have it at all.
