I have installed all the drivers and utilities. Realtek and THX are running. How can I reduce the bass in my sound? I find it too much for competitive gaming. Can't hear footsteps as well, always bass in there making profound important sounds distinguishable.

More like iron boots that make so much noise that it sounds like it's coming from all directions lol :)

Sorry I can't help with your problem. Have you been through all the THX settings?

Did you read this Audio Guide? I know it's for the Vortex II, but it might help a bit. Failing that, give PCS a ring, they will help you I'm sure.

I'm sorry, but because the general problem is quite the opposite - do you use a usb headset or something along the line that might have it's own specific software to tweak such settings?
Or an external speaker set?

It's rather weird that you get excessive bass really because I usually hear people complain about the lack of it xD - lucky you I spose. Umm, as for fixing the issue there are a few tweaks in thx control panel, just toy with the bars and see how it works out ;)
There's also the crossover frequency - you could try toying with it to cancel out some of the bass.

Yeah the Crossover Frequency in settings has done the trick. Do you know how it works tho? Like what it actually means?
Also is there a guide to what the other functions do? [READ THE MANUAL :) ]

Hey Nipple, what cross over setting did you use and I did find them once but I cant seem to find where the frequency setting is hiding - Ive gone thru all settings but seem to have lost it !

The crossover frequency means the point at which the sound will be split to low and high notes.

@pips333: It should be located in the THX panel in the drop down menu at the top.
