Setting up Realtek audio Bass Crossover Frequency

[michalpuk]

Hey, I was thinking I could remove the sound card with a new board, since the integrated ones have already made progress, but there is an unsolvable problem with the 5.1 speaker.

In the Realtek audio console settings, there is an option to turn on bass management (without it sub wont work), but there is no crossover settings, the default is off and it sounds badl 😞

I found some older instructions https://www.evga.com/support/faq/FAQdetails.aspx?faqid=59663 but I don't have the setting that needs to be changed in the registers. Does anyone have any advice on what to do with this? Or will I have to stick with the sound card. 😄

So funny I have been reading about this for the past two hours so great minds think alike. Registry setting no longer exists for modern Realtek Audio Panel unfortunately and when I turn Bass Management OFF, my Logitech Z906 surround sound system kicks the bass louder! Feels reversed on my end. I hear more BASS with Bass Management OFF. It makes no sense. Clearly needs crossover adjustment. If your separate soundcard has crossover option, you'd have to stick with that. No room in my case due to vertical GPU!

Not sure if this is what you are looking for?

I think this is one of the alternatives although not sure if it's helping with crossover, regardless the driver package we get for Realtek USB Audio often gets updated and it could become a hassle everytime we get an update.  So far I've done manual adjustments

Thanks but i sadly did not find crossover settings there, btw i got a Strix x670e-a.

Oh well i will settle with my old rusty sound-blaster z then.
