This method allows you to improve sound quality in Windows 7 as it lets you enhance bass and adjust the loudness counter. To enhance the quality of audio: 1. Right click on the Volume icon; 2. Select Playback Devices; 3. In the dialog box that appears, select the Default Speaker set (there may be more than one depending upon your sound card and software installed) 4. Click on Properties; 5. Click on Enhancements tab 6. Click to select Bass Boost and click Properties. I will divide bass into two types: drum bass and harmonic bass. The latter is the one produced by those huge guitars that add real bass to music. 6.1 If you want drum bass and harmonic bass both, select 80Hz and increase the dB to anywhere between 9dB to 18dB. You can increase it more but then, the other sounds - including human voice and treble will go down drastically.

You can then select Loudness and then set up the slider to one or two places away from Short. You will need to experiment a little before you hear the proper sound clarity. If you are making changes even as your browser is streaming audio, you have to refresh the page (press F5) to apply changes. 6.2 If you just want harmonic bass and wish to avoid the humming sound that is created by frequencies lying between 50 and 60, select 50Hz and increase it by 12-18dB. Then, use the Loudness properties to fine tune the audio. In my case, it is 50Hz at 15dB with loudness slider set to Short.
