hi there. I have never had the need for an eq before,, but as my main system is being stripped down, i have resorted to linking my laptop up top my hi-fi to play music off my server.

The sound from the speaker out is REALLY poor, loads of bass, distorted and muffled.
I messed with foobars eq and using the following EQ, i get something reasonable, but not perfect.



Are there any guidelines, listening samples etc. i can use to tune the EQ any better? The adjustments i have made, seem very extreme, so i presume the hardware has been tweaked to produce better output from the laptop speakers.

I have windows set up for best dampling rate conversion, and for desktop speakers. The line out is actually driving my yamaha amp.

Any advice would be great,

Cheers,

Kristian

This link may provide some interesting reading for you.

I think Pio wrote something along similar lines but I can't find that.

hhhm, i couldn't come up with anything when i tried a search, i tried searching for a heading like that.

Anyways, sadly the link to the download package doesn't work, so i can't use that, nevermind, perhaps someone has a copy, if they do i could re-host it for a while on my home server (only 256K upload though)

Cheers,

Kristian
