G74SX-DH72 Windows 10 Issue - Loudness Equalization MISSING

Hi, everyone. Been a long time since I've been here, but I'll cut to the chase.

So I upgraded to Win 10 a while ago, and everything seemed fine. I noticed my audio being...weak...but didn't know why. I updated to the latest drivers (using Windows Update and Device Manager), and now I realized the issue - the enhancements are all missing.

I found something interesting - I uninstalled THX TruStudio, which made enhancements appear again, but Loudness Equalization was nowhere to be found, so I restored THX TruStudio again. Now I wanted to try to uninstall it again, but when I try, nothing happens. Might have to manually uninstall it - anyone can walk me through it?

TL;DR G74SX-DH72, upgraded to Win 10, Loudness Equalization is missing. What do?

EDIT: This laptop's audio has Nvidia, Realtek, and THX TruStudio. That's how it was. I changed nothing.

Hi man,

I also upgraded to Windows 10 and it seems Creative THX TruStudio is not working.

Have you found any solution?

Thanks,
Maxus

Unfortunately, I doubt there are drivers for W10, I only found ones for W7 and W8.

Also, Creative does not really allows to download them from website as they are already included in laptop's software.

I decided to roll back to Windows7 as the sound was pretty lame on W10 due to lacking drivers. Unfortunately, my mouse and keyboard did not respond when I rolled back, so I had to format once again. I'll stick to W7 and SSD drive... 🙂

Thanks, I'll try these and see if it works.

EDIT: I noticed that those are drivers for just Creative audio cards, not the actual THX TruStudio software. Any chance of finding a Win10 update for that?

Will see if the Realtek one at least helps...

I am missing Loudness Equalization too on my G74SX-3DE with the latest Realtek drivers.... I've tried everything from Windows Update to 6.0.1.7624 WHQL.

.....That's the issue that me and the other guy were talking about - there is NO Loudness Equalization in the Realtek Manager. It's what we're trying to figure out.
