How do you get good sound on your PC? Bass and treble controls? Equalizer?

Anything that isn't a potato on windows these days comes with Realtek HD audio manager (provided that you use most on-board sound chips... and they are in most motherboards... you need to install sound drivers as well, of course), said manager is in control panel (the proper one, not the limited win10 one) in hardware and sound -> realtek HD audio manager.

It has a bunch of options for controlling audio.

I could have sworn on the sound settings in Windows XP you could click on advance options and change your equalizer that way.  I forgot about Realtek which I quickly change my equalizer to rock.  Just seems like it was easier to tweak the sound settings in XP without having to go to another program.

Memory says to me: such a thing existed, I remember it.

But google doesn't find it, so perhaps it's some simple side utility that just integrated itself into the WXP shell.
