EDIT: I am on windows 7 by the way. My audio device doesn't have extended sound setting either. But I am getting a new Komplete Audio 6 next soon but not yet.

Hi, I'm looking for a free or cheap 3rd party program that can add effects especially like low and high pass to your windows volume before it goes out to your headphones or speakers. Reason I ask Is I've been getting ringing in my ears even with super low volumes, but I think it could be because I use my mixing headphones 24/7 because I have to be quiet. When I get in voip programs to play games with friends some of them have a lot of mic noise, I'd like to low pass that out. But yeah does anyone know any free or cheap 3rd party software for windows that has effects you can put on before it goes to your speakers, to control volume for every sound that comes out of your computer? Thanks.

If you have an older Windows (like XP), most soundcards have some kind of sound-manager where you can find an equalizer.

In newer Windows (since Vista?) there is even an equalizer under "Playback Devices" (right-click on the loudspeaker icon in the task bar) -> "Extended Properties" ...

Here is an Windows EQ application that works with Windows 7 and Windows 8:

Thanks I will check that eq program out right now. Also I keep my sound pretty quiet but what is a DB range NO one should go higher than?

Also I would be willing to buy a windows volume tool if it came with like a bunch of fx like low pass, high pass, limiter ect...

That is almost exactly what I need/want. But I need it to effect all my computer sounds before it goes to my headphones (take in all my sound before it goes out). That just looks like its for just winamp or your mic.

You can feed audio through it using a program like VB Cable or Virtual Audio Cable (VAC). Set a virtual cable as your default audio device, run the stand alone version of Stereo Tool and let it process the audio that comes in through the virtual cable, and let it output to the real sound card.
