This is a really great tutorial. But I just found the Peace GUI that make tuning the EQ in Equalizer APO so much easier. I recommend people still watch this video to know the reasons the GUI sliders change the EQ.
The reason the two headphone graphs are different is not because of impedance mismatch but using raw measurement vs target curve. Inner fidelity takes a raw measurement (in grey) and then applies a target curve to adjust the measurement to how we would hear it. The peak caused by impedance mismatch shows where the impedance is at its highest, which usually is in the lows, definetly not at 7 kHz. Other than than the video is nice, thanks for the effort of posting it, APO EQ is a very nice programme.
I have no idea what you are on about for most of this video really. However I copy & pasted your settings and now my music sounds way better. Thank you.
+Tech Yes City I just recently discovered this channel, and I have to say your videos are awesome! I have Klipsch desktop speakers, and they have awesome sound, wouldn't trade them for anything, but the bass knob basically was functioning as "do you want really loud bass or super loud bass" because even turned all the way down it was outputting high enough to shake the floor. I couldn't watch youtube videos late at night because I couldn't trust people not to put high base in them (intro videos, random drops, etc) and even with the base knob at zero. I'm not exaggerating, with volume so low I could barely hear it in my room, the bass was still coming through as if it was cranked to 11. I occasionally check for simple solutions, but most were too expensive just for adjusting this otherwise minor issue. Installed this program, turns out that my bass was boosted to +6 by onboard audio. So I set a low-shelf filter of 80Hz, -15 db, and now it's amazing, my bass knob actually makes a difference in sound level. If I turn it down to zero I don't have to worry about it waking up family. Keep up the good work man!
My FiiO E10K just arrived today and I've had my HE400Is for a few days. I'm glad there's a guide by you to set up this program since I saw on a thread that it's a good equalizer to use. So far having it set on default settings sounds good to me and I'm not sure I'll tweak them much but it's good to know there are guides out there. I always use your windows 10 optimization guides so look forward to seeing how this can help.
that was a good video but the description made it great. appreciate the time codes and links to everything the most! every youtube video should have time codes, it makes the quality seem so much more professional. im checkin out this software now
Thanks so much for this. My Corsair H1500 (otherwise the best headset I've ever owned) was *way* too loud on day one and the microphone was not coming through in R6: Siege. With Equalizer APO I've lowered the audio and boosted my mic!
had a problem with my headphones..sound it louder on 1 side..balanced up on windows settings but the volume is too soft..thanks for the tutorial man..boosted up my volume up with your configs :) cheers
Really great for boosting USB inputs from a mixer, works and cannot detect distortion! What's not to like. We were suffereing from very quiet inut for open mic on line events, but this free app is the perfect solution. Set up in less than 10 minutes.
So glad I got rid of both addon sound cards and internal motherboard DAC years ago...Bitstream to AVR or external DAC and rock on! :) Many benefits for a little more money (if at all since some mobos cost 300$+)
Hello, Tech Yes City. you never did give your first name so I don't know who you are. I'm just now seeing this video, I see that you have uploaded this back in 2015. I want to know do you have an update on The Equalizer APO. I myself am suffering from tinnitus but I do not use headphones. I use regular speakers would you have an update for just using the speakers for music. PS, I'm usually on a laptop. From time to time I'll use speakers that I connect to my computer but at this moment is the laptop.
Great video it really showed how to put the two programs together I plan to do a 7.1 surround sound wish me luck... Seriously I really don't know why I do this to myself. O yeah I do pc master race, $1200 dsp nooooo free and a few years off the end of my life yes
alright is a bit late for a review but i just discovered your chanel, so yeah first of all thanks, and for the other ppl asking 'config for CSGO" this one is great ( tested in DM ) and i can clearly heard footstep and directions they are comming but dont boost at 10db its almost imposible to heard something ( in csgo ). sorry for my english, greetings from france
I downloaded this program and got it working. PLEASE tell me is there any way to equalize only one channel. I have hearing loss in my left ear at high frequencies. I don't want a lecture on hearing loss just an answer to my question. Thanks!
after i install equalizer APO i can only hear a sound from the direction of my look and i cant hear someone open a door from my back..why is this happening sir?
Thanks for the clear and informative tutorial. It helped me get comfortable with EQ APO quickly, and I was happy to whip up some presets to flatten my Sony V6's. Now I had to uninstall APO due to the lack of global volume control. Uninstalled, volume works again; reinstalled APO, and volume was 100% or nothing. I could still control music voume inside the Spotify app, but Windows notifications would blow my ears out. I am running a fairly new Dell 7000 series laptop with Win 10 1803 on it, with Realtek HD audio drivers. I checked everything I could find that forums suggested, with no success. Any suggestions? Thank you!
y maybe, I just switched from 31-band graphic eq to variable, and added some more bands, so its basically like u have 30-something filters (u can also edit their freq and db in the table on the right) Do you know is there a software that can equalize your headphones automatically for you (using the method u described in this video, with mic, setting up eq so that headphones freq response is as flat as possible)?
Yeah I did know that, the problem is its still very hard to get it perfectly or near perfectly accurate, especially with the gear I have... :( I would rather just let my ears listen to what's good and adjust from there.
Hi, very good explanation. But I have a problem and need your help. My onboard realtek card has 2 options "Speaker Fill" and "Loudness Equalization". Speaker fill options allows me to play youtube content and all other stereo content in 5.1 speakers. But when I use APO, speaker fill option is no longer available in realtek audio manager and nothing is available in APO equalizer too. Could you please tell how to enable "speaker fill" or anything similar option in APO that converts stereo content to be played in 5.1 speakers. Thanks.
Amps can still suffer from the same problems as outlined in this video, only way to really know is to get advice from an expert with first hand experience with a headphone amp combo, or grab and SPL meter / pro measuring gear.
Fanstatic video.just one question woule any of these programs help to boost my mic output volume? ie,i have a samson c01u mic its great for voice overs but not live comms as its too quiet i have the levels all on max in the recording and still too low so wonderd if they might give it a boost. Thanks
I just want an equalizer that has the sliders work every time and all the time. These don't and I can't figure this out. I grew up in an analog world with analog equipment and all the meters and all the sliders worked every time, all the time (unless something broke.) Which one do you recommend? (I'm not a programmer.)
This software is AMAZING. My MSI gaming laptop unfortunately comes with the HORRIBLE mess of a sound equalizer and other 'enhancements' in a program called Nahimic 2.0 (I'd hate to see how buggy 1.0 was). It can make your sound good...until you start getting crackling and other crap, and it's the ONLY software I have that occaisionally crashes. For software that is linked to a very important driver (the sound, which is obviously very important) this is unacceptable. MSI should've stuck with Realtek's EQ software until Nahimic was totally ready -- but it's been in development for over 3 years now, so I have zero hopes for it at this point. By the way, any idea what could be causing this audio crackling? It lasts just milliseconds long, but it starts to increase more and more after it starts, which is usually about after 10-12 hours after the laptop has been booted (I leave it on 24/7). Almost sounds like a tearing sound, too. This tutorial video was amazing! Thanks so much. This software has been an incredible replacement for that shit Nahimic software. I recommend everyone ditch Nahimic (and tell MSI how crap it is) and go with this.
hello, so i know this video is old and all but when i install equalizer apo for my webcam nothinh happens when i put the decibels at 40, literally equalizer apo does nothing. I tried it on a different computer to see if it was the cameras fault and it worked perfectly. Can someone please help me???
@Tech City, you didn't load the mic's calibration file. REW needs to take the mic's/SPL meter's characteristics into consideration. You might want to take a look at this: www.hometheatershack.com/forums/rew-forum/44601-shure-sm58-cal-file-anyone.html
can you make e video how to add all channels seperetly for stereo upmox to 5.1 surroiund? i can not find how to set this up in apo.. somewhere allong the line it just stops working and looses contact with my soundcard. just need to knowq what comes one after whitsh wone .
Once I follow your instructions to configure the equalizer at about 8:32 on your video. I got THIS readout. Nothing like yours. HOW .....the heck am I supposed to figure this out? No Clue. Thanks. Preamp: -6 dB Include: example.txt GraphicEQ: 25 0; 40 0; 63 0; 100 0; 160 0; 250 0; 400 0; 630 0; 1000 0; 1600 0; 2500 0; 4000 0; 6300 0; 10000 0; 16000 0
I have hizzing noise if I turn up loud. My onboard is ALC889. I am connecting my Fidelio X2's to my Blue Yeti, that is connected to computer via USB. If I turn up and down the volume, with only the hizzing sound, it suddenly goes away after installing EqualizerAPO. Which is GREAT! But it returns again. Now I cant get the hizzing sound to go away. :( Damn it!! It was so beautiful, in songs etc without it hizzing slightly in the background. I WANT THAT!!! :p
When you first install Equalizer APO and select your speaker output for "APO can be installed" does it install them onto the speakers themselves?" And if so does uninstalling the program remove it the APO from the device as well? Thank you!
My 7.1 surround sound from Logitech Artimis 930 not working anymore after installing the Equalizer APO, any help please? it seems like Equalizer APO Blocks the 7.1 somehow or is there any Fix i don't know about?
Is there any way to make this software work for a recording device (microphone in my case) instead of a playback device? i need something to get rid of the sound of my air condition. i already know the frequencies that i'd have to adjust but i can't find a software that works. of course i could use it on my playback device so i won't hear it anymore myself but everyone in teamspeak or discord would still hear it because they get whatever comes from my selected recording device. actually the software says that i can install it for my recording device but when i do it says that it's not installed for that device. is it bugged or am i doing something wrong?
Hi there. For anyone who uses Windows 10 you might notice Equaliser APO has stopped working following the most recent Windows upgrade. To get it working again just re-run the configurator and reboot your PC
I have a really big problem with my laptops equalizer. Every time I want to listen to songs on RUclips, my equalizer keeps turning the bass off. To fix that problem, I have to 1.open volume mixer 2.Clicking on the speakers 3.Click on Enhancements 4. Disable all sound effects. Can someone help?
Edit: short answer, yes. (my personal issues with equipment): I don't know the specifics but yes you *should* be able to use a software based EQ with any sound card or external system such as an amp/dac. I say software based, because I found out the hard way after getting my Schiit amp and dac that it would bypass my motherboards DPS suite and therefor also it's EQ, therefor causing me to look into APO (realtek and sound blasters audio software. Because the dac bypasses the drivers which the software was bound to, but APO works for me as long as I ensure it it not disabling any effects, and APO was smart enough to check if that was the case). I am not familiar with Steinberg but I recommend to everyone though that a good Dac and amp such as Schiit's Fulla 2 (the best quality you can get for only US $100, or upgrade to the Magni and Modi or better) will far surpass the quality of a sound card. Plus if you like tube amps you can have the options of swapping tubes and upgrading parts of their other models down the road, where as you are stuck with the components you get in a card.
I'm afraid I'm an audio noob so I don't think I can take advantage of this with my HD558s, but is thing motherboard dependant or do all of them react this way?
I have a ROG Hero XI with smart impedance detection running to a Topping amp from the line out. Can the impedance miss match still affect me thru the MB using pre amplification?
Tech YES City I have active monitors(krk rockit 8) and focusrite extern soundcard that dont support its own eq, i tryed bass boost custom but didnt feel any different, should i restart after change or do i need to high some more on q?
hmm you should notice it.. might not be installed properly i mean the easiest way to tell is to simply drop and raise the volume with the -db setting, if its working after you save the config file then the bass boost should be registering, if not you will have to figure out how to get it working.
you made my headphones go 0 to 100 real quick . thanks man :D
Coming from someone with severe tinnitus, this has been a mammoth help to me... cheers mate :) you're a legend.
This is a really great tutorial. But I just found the Peace GUI that make tuning the EQ in Equalizer APO so much easier. I recommend people still watch this video to know the reasons the GUI sliders change the EQ.
can I ask you a favor? Never stop making youtube videos. You´re definetly my favorite youtuber ;-)
Thanks man, don't ever stop watching :P.
you almost made me cry...so romantic
The reason the two headphone graphs are different is not because of impedance mismatch but using raw measurement vs target curve.

Thank you so much! this helped me with EQAPO so much.
Thanks so much, you made my DT990's sound a lot nicer to me. Great video.
I have the same model, how do you A-B compare the program?
Great video! Just a heads up, when making a demonstration video, please use a lower resolution. Everything is very tiny and hard to read as is.
Thank you so much! The instructions are really easy.

thanks for info love the vidz keep it up
"Peace" is a free Windows GUI front end to drive the settings of equalizerAPO. Easy to use with sliders for the EQ and USB mic volume boost etc.
Did anyone ever tell you there is a GUI for this?? In the install folder its called Configuration Editor...>.

I need some help, everytime i open up equalizer it opens up for about 3 seconds and then closes
Thanks, Man!
awsome tutorial
Outstanding tutorial!!! Thanks! Can you suggest settings for EQ APO for electronic music? Bose Headphones QC35II
How do you get that equalizer in adobe premiere pro?

Why dont you just use the graphic equalizer from Equalizer APO, why do you need those manually made filters?
+MMMMMilash More control. Or at least thats what it gave me when using the manual config.

i like to listen to alot of music, and i really do like alot of bass, is there any settings you recommend, i would apreciate that :)
How can I reset settings to the default??
hi there, incredible tutorial, may i ask the text version of the csgo config that you have?
+Happy Farmer I had one for Black Ops, CSGO will be different, try 10db boosts in broad ranges then see which one gives you the most benefit.
Tech YES City aww =( i was expecting the text like the one you showed in the description below the video, anywho, thanks!
wont work for me when i go to sound properties theirs nothing but an unchecked box that says disable all sounds
for some reason the settings do not apply for me, i cant hear a difference no matter what i change..

(my personal issues with equipment): I don't know the specifics but yes you *should* be able to use a software based EQ with any sound card or external system such as an amp/dac. I say software based, because I found out the hard way after getting my Schiit amp and dac that it would bypass my motherboards DPS suite and therefor also it's EQ, therefor causing me to look into APO (realtek and sound blasters audio software. Because the dac bypasses the drivers which the software was bound to, but APO works for me as long as I ensure it it not disabling any effects, and APO was smart enough to check if that was the case).
I am not familiar with Steinberg but I recommend to everyone though that a good Dac and amp such as Schiit's Fulla 2 (the best quality you can get for only US $100, or upgrade to the Magni and Modi or better) will far surpass the quality of a sound card. Plus if you like tube amps you can have the options of swapping tubes and upgrading parts of their other models down the road, where as you are stuck with the components you get in a card.
I'm afraid I'm an audio noob so I don't think I can take advantage of this with my HD558s, but is thing motherboard dependant or do all of them react this way?
Any DAC that is running from windows can benefit from this. HD558s would get a decent boost on the lower end to help them out.
thanks bryan, i will give it a shot!
I have a ROG Hero XI with smart impedance detection running to a Topping amp from the line out. Can the impedance miss match still affect me thru the MB using pre amplification?
already got asus xonar dgx, so is this software really needed? can i truly benefit from this? :/
ohhhhh yes you can. I have a xonar dx and it's fantastic with it combined with uni xonar custom drivers.
What settings i need for extra bass? my krk rokit are some shy
+Josef Putin oh ok just add the standard bass boost profile in example
that should give your headphones a kick.
Tech YES City I have active monitors(krk rockit 8) and focusrite extern soundcard that dont support its own eq, i tryed bass boost custom but didnt feel any different, should i restart after change or do i need to high some more on q?
hmm you should notice it.. might not be installed properly
i mean the easiest way to tell is to simply drop and raise the volume with the -db setting, if its working after you save the config file then the bass boost should be registering, if not you will have to figure out how to get it working.
do i need to open eq apo configurator and make some change there? i have bass bosst there
Tech YES City hm i think i feel different now, dunno its becouse i am drunk or cuz it helped, thanks anyway! :)
Any chance you could copy&paste your config here/into the description so I can use it please?
Done.
much appreciated!
I have a hyperx cloud alpha, but im not satisfied with the footsteps. should I use it? anyone??! :/
