I'm going through my meme stash and the stuff if exploding all over the show.

This app

Win10 support for my onboard 7.1 sound card being difficult no longer matters as I found an alternative app, have to use L&R to split but meh

Equalizer APO is the bomb diggety

My only gripe is that if you use USB sound devices and you unplug and plug them back in you need to restart your PC to link it back in to APO to work.

I use it to put a -20dB gain on my Corsair headphones that are ridiculously loud at 2% and threaten to give you permanent tinnitus at 8%

Forgive me if this has been said before:

All the little bleeps and squeaks and little lights coming from everywhere once the power comes on again .

Do those headphones function as their own output device? If so that would cause your symptom yes, although closing EQ APO via task manager to restart it may solve this issue.

I don't have them nearby but I think it's a Corsair Vengeance 1500.

It's basically a headphone and mic setup but M$ sees it as a sound card as the audio processing happens on the headset side.

I haven't tried closing it via taskmgr yet; I'll give it a go when it gives me hassles again. An unrelated issue is that using it with Jabber it keeps on changing my default input device to SPDIF after the laptop resumes from sleep. So my first phone call each day is a one way conversation until I remember to switch it back to USB Audio Device.

It's a known issue apparently: https://community.cisco.com/t5/coll...ving-audio-settings-after-reboot/td-p/2781833

Makes life much more difficult that.

You should see my setup at home. I'm pedantic about certain things, and my home PC is an Intel NUC that only has a 3.5mm jack on the front of the unit. My ancient Creative speakers use 3.5mm.

So in the interest of neatness I chose to rather plug the speaker input into my monitor's 3.5mm jack, and pass the audio through the HDMI cable and back around to the 3.5mm jack on the display than have the cable plugged into the front of the NUC.

Yes, I would rather have the audio randomly disconnect when some applications go into fullscreen mode and have it stutter when I alt-tab out than have a cable plugged into the front and look all out of place.

No wonder my girlfriend says there's no hope for me.

I am sort-off in the same boat as you ( minus my girlfriend isn't as clever ans your's, although this has benefits ) I am pedantic about what signal is sent where as I have a simple stereo amp running mids & high then a dedicated amp running the sub for mid low to low, so I need each to be filtered, low and high pass, which is easy via the normal sound card software, but windows 10 doesn't support it easily,. so running with win legacy software (2 channel) and using EQ APO I have been able to use left channel as mid-high and right as mid-low if you pay careful attention to my settings posted, I am happy it really works well.

That sounds like quite the convoluted workaround, but if it works...I am not going to argue! Aanhouer wen

It's not bad. I like that I can still right-click on any tab and re-open a closed tab. In Chrome, you have to right-click in an empty space in the title bar to get that option:
