Disappointed that the rafters aren't shaking when you play your music? Both Windows 10 and Windows 11 offer an option to enhance your current bass levels. We'll show you how to enable this option on your PC.

The option to boost bass isn't available on all PCs. If your machine has supported hardware and drivers, you will see this option as described in the below steps. Also, whether you're on Windows 10 or Windows 11, you'll follow the same set of steps.

UPDATE: Since I think that PulseAudio Equalizer is not being maintained anymore and it has some nasty bugs for years (Volume is set to 100% on login) I have found an alternative. The alternative is PulseEffects. It has more options and it's even better than PulseAudio Equalizer.

I'd like to add few details to Vladimir's comment about PulseEffects. On Android I've been using V4A audio effects application which greatly increased audio quality, especially bass boost. Unfortunately, I've been missing this kind of app on Linux for years and here it is - PulseEffects.

In order to get a powerful and clean bass boost in PulseEffects app, you need to manually reduce audio output in order to compensate bass boost (otherwise your speakers will sound like trash). Do the following in PulseEffects app:

How can I create bass that vibrates my headphones, while sustaining the original volume of the song? The method I used involved boosting the bass by a high amount of decibels to create that vibrating bass feeling, which drowned out the other parts of the song.

Bass boost settings in a phone are a part of the playback/speaker/headphone system, not the music file system. I use them to change between different headphones when I go walking. Audacity has no way to do that. All we can do is change the music file before the phone gets to it. That and Audacity will not apply corrections and filters in real time.

Is there a way to add bass so that it can be heard on every device? I am not looking for the best bass on just one device but on every device, even if this means it is not the best bass for a particular device.

However, as you know there is a digital upper limit of 0dB. (Your digital-to-analog converter is hard-limited to 0dB as are WAV files and CDs.) And, most commercial releases are already maximized (normalized) so usually you cannot boost the bass (or anything else) without clipping. You can however, boost the bass and then use the Amplify or Normalize effect to bring down the levels to below clipping before you export. In effect, you are turning-down everything except the bass. If you have an external amplifier or amplified speakers you can turn up the analog volume so that the bass actually is louder.

The first time I listened a song on my Hp laptop, I was very disappointed! The bass sounded much less powerfull and the kicks were not as defined. I though I was doing something wrong or that my laptop had very bad quality speakers.

I'm wondering, does anyone know why software bass boost solutions (like equalizers in various media players or that come with sound card) are really awful? I mean, you can boost max. 3-4dB without getting your sound distorted, and that's only if you're lucky ...

The only one software solution that has worked for me is Bass boost in Windows 7 HD Audio Drivers (maybe it isn't software solution?), but unfortunately I have another computer now and my sound card doesn't support Windows 7 generic HD Audio driver. So I don't know what to do, and I really need bass boost. My current sound card is Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE.

EDIT: I am sorry, but I forgot to mention this. I have Sennheiser HD 215, and they are really capable of outputting loud and bass-rich sound. I know that because I've successfully done it with my laptop sound card (that supports Windows HD Audio Drivers and Bass boost feature) and little amplifier. So I am only asking is there any good software alternative to this Windows Bass boost feature?

Solution: Always use the EQ's PREAMP slider to reduce the level of the audio at least as much dBs as the total bass you're going to add. If you increase bass on multiple frequency sliders, lower the preamp further to compensate. Finally, increase your master volume and enjoy.

Explanation: Most media players like Winamp, iTunes, foobar have EQs that are at least equal, and likely much better than windows' old bass boost or onboard soundcard settings which tend to sound gimmicky at best.

Perhaps what you need to understand is that digital audio can never exceed MAXIMUM volume (or 0dB) - the ceiling after which sound will get distorted (the correct term is clipping). Since the windows mixer is almost never at maximum volume, it has plenty of headroom to add bass without distorsion.

However, media players will generally process EQ on the raw content of the track - read: at maximum volume. That's a good thing because you want to process sound it its rawest form to obtain the best quality, but adding 3-4dB in this situation will almost invariably produce unwanted clipping/distorsion. Note this even applies if the media player's volume slider is low, because the EQ is generally applied first, before the sound gets to that. That damaged audio will then be passed on to the windows mixer and to your headphones.

Fun fact: Apple iPod's EQ settings have had this problem since the first generation in 2001. In forums, people requested for years that Apple fixes this ridiculous problem for such a "high-end" device. Well, I understand they fixed it in 2010 with iOS 4 - you now clearly hear the volume drop when choosing a "bass boost" setting. It took almost a decade! Phew!

According to Creative the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE PCI Sound Card allows you to "Bring out the best in your music with Bass Boost, Smart Volume Management, Audio Clean-Up, and more!" (my emphasis).

It's not available for download separately, you won't find it in the download page. Even if you managed to extract it from the installation cd, the installation will fail with an error 6003 because it's not meant to work that way.

If you can find your original driver CD, or download a full driver CD (I've done that for my Audigy Platinum before, as a torrent) you should be able to install the EQ app that should show in your Creative sound control panel.

Modern music is generally mastered very loudly, to the point where it's to some extent pre-distorted. Chances are, the bass portion of your music is already as loud as it can be without being severely distorted.

It turns out, however, that using EQ to lower everything that isn't the bass by, say, 6dB, then turning up the volume knob on the analog end (receiver or speakers), is generally equivalent to boosting the bass. So try that.

In systems such as laptops that have speakers with limited bass capability, it is sometimes possible to increase the perceived quality of the audio by boosting the bass response in the frequency range that is supported by the speaker. Bass boost improves sound on mobile devices with very small speakers by increasing gain in the mid-bass range.

I'm having the same issue. Already tried changing the EQ presets, Windows Sample Rate to both CD and DVD (in the properties), reinstalling iCUE and the drivers completely, and it still happens every now and then in ArmA, Dying Light, Squad and sometimes in DayZ.

Been testing some more and its perhpas not really an issue with the sound getting louder suddenly. Almost more like when theres alot of bass the sound gets lowered across all frequenices and when there is no more bass or less of it it returns to normal level.

I've also been coming across this situation all of a sudden, has been happening for the past month and I can't figure out why. Been using my own EQ settings and the headset is always sufficiently charged.

Hi, sorry haven't looked here in a while, but the issue just happened again and it reminded me that I posted a reply here. I have reset it quite a few times using the given instructions but it still continues to happen. I'm using the default Bass Boost EQ Preset that comes with iCUE, and notice that the sound getting extremely loud isn't the only issue. I've noticed sometimes my headset gets extremely quiet too before "leveling out" back to how they sounded originally.

I got some void elite surround headphones around Christmas time, and I've tuned all of my EQs and it sounds amazing. But randomly when I'm listening to music, it turns very loud, and a lot of bass. Basically earraping me. Not too sure why it is doing this.

On my setup I've remembered that I had my USB dongle put on the front USB ports initially when I got these headphones then some time later on decided to put them on the back (putting it directly to the motherboard via rear io ports) in order to make space on my front ports, then later on having the "bass boost" and distorted noise popping up randomly, after many months finding the solution I've decided to look at those "general" guide fixes and did the simplest thing "plugging at a different port" and it worked. 152ee80cbc
