Configuring sound settings in the Windows Control Panel is an easy process that can be completed in a few simple steps.
1) Open the Control Panel.
In Windows 10, click on the Search box located at the bottom left of your screen and type “Control Panel”. Select the result that appears under the “Best match” section, or if you don’t see the Control Panel listed, click on the “All Settings” icon instead and select “Control Panel” from the menu. In earlier versions of Windows, you can open the Control Panel by going to Start > Control Panel.
2) Select the “Hardware and Sound” option.
Once you’ve opened the Control Panel, locate the “Hardware and Sound” heading and click on it.
3) Select the “Sound” option.
Under the “Hardware and Sound” heading, you will see a list of items related to sound and audio. Click on the “Sound” option. This will open the “Sound” window where you can view and modify your sound settings.
4) Select the playback device you’d like to adjust.
The “Sound” window features a tab called “Playback” which shows you a list of playback devices connected to your computer. Select the device you’d like to adjust. You can also make changes to the default device here.
5) Modify the sound settings as desired.
After selecting a playback device, you can adjust the sound settings. You can adjust the overall volume level using the volume slider, as well as toggle options such as “Loudness Equalization”, “Bass Boost”, “Dialog Enhancement”, and more. You can also configure the device’s advanced audio settings by clicking on the “Advanced” tab.
6) Close the “Sound” window when finished.
When you’re done making changes to the sound settings, click on the “X” button in the top-right corner of the “Sound” window to close it. Your changes will be saved automatically, so there’s no need to click on any extra buttons.
And that’s it! You’ve successfully configured your sound settings in the Windows Control Panel.
