WindowsEQ applies a professional-grade equalizer to all audio on your PC — not just one app. Route your system audio through VB-Audio Virtual Cable (free), run WindowsEQ, and every sound that comes out of your speakers or headphones goes through the EQ chain.

Features

• 16-band graphic EQ — 25 Hz to 20 kHz, ±12 dB per band with independent Q control
• Low & high shelf filters — adjustable corner frequency and gain
• Real-time EQ curve graph — see the exact frequency response as you adjust
• 64-bar spectrum analyzer — live FFT with peak-hold markers
• Auto-preamp — watches for clipping and backs off gain automatically
• Soft-knee limiter — tanh-curve protection against digital distortion
• Unlimited named presets — save, switch, export, and import .json preset files
• A/B comparison slots — instantly toggle between two settings snapshots
• Taskbar scroll-wheel volume — restores Windows 10-style scroll volume on Windows 11
• Run at startup — always-on EQ from boot, controlled from the system tray
• Update notifications — checks GitHub Releases and shows a banner when a new version is available

Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)
• VB-Audio Virtual Cable — free download at vb-audio.com (the installer will prompt you if it's not found)
• No admin rights required for daily use
• No .NET install needed — fully self-contained
• Windows may say that it has protected you and try to stop the install. Ignore the message. It is just because of the digital signature.
