mbp-16-bootcamp-speaker-mod's Issues

How is the project going && New EQ is now open for test

I hope guys seeing this issue can first test the new eq file for me before I replaced the main one in the repo in 🙏🏻.

Since I've been doing tuning work on my MacBook, I'm concerned that the speakers are becoming inaccurate (speaker loss) to be use as a reference. Also I found it interesting as the old eq doesn't sound the same after reinstalling bootcamp, which makes me worry that just using the EQ for tuning isn't accurate enough (It used to be opened for repairs as well). Everyone's feedback is valuable here.

I know the new EQ took too long, sorry about that. My macbook once broke and I had to start over as all the data were gone after repair (broken ssd chips and circuits), but luckily the new eq worked much better for me.
In meantime the hardware pop solution I think I'll develop as a split project.

Click me if you hope to install the new EQ **experimental**

 

The automatically installed dolby atmos in the original bootcamp driver affects the eq and limits the tuning possibilities, there is no point in installing two eqs, in order to install the new eq dolby atmos needs to be removed. I've noticed that dolby atmos isn't automatically installed when some people's bootcamp installs the driver (but it's included in the driver and mine does), which is weird. If your Mac does not have dolby atmos installed, skip to the section on installing eq.
Here's how to remove it:

Turn off the global application in the Dolby atmos program:

Open Task Manager Services Options, disable DolbyDAXAPI:

Find the Dolby atmos app and uninstall it:

delete C:\Windows\System32\dolbyaposvc\PCI_DEV_1803_SUBSYS_1887106B_PCI_SUBSYS_72708086.xml

Check the Equalizer APO status:

If the Equalizer APO driver is not installed on your speakers after deleting dolby atmos (speaker is not selected), please reinstall according to the settings, if it has been installed, please skip to the part of installing eq:

Remember not to select and install on headset

Reboot your MacBook, and we'll install the new eq:

MSG1.0_mbp16.zip

Download and unzip the above compressed file, you will see two folders in the unzipped folder: config and ReaPlugs

1. Unplug the headphones and turn the speaker volume down
2. Copy the ReaPlugs folder to C:\Program Files\EqualizerAPO\VSTPlugins
3. Copy and replace the config folder to C:\Program Files\EqualizerAPO
4. Play some music to observe the effect and adjust the volume (I recommend 無色故に透明)😂
   Please report issues after testing, thanks 😃

Option for "Loudness Equalization" does not show up

Hi.
First of all, i appreciate your work and big thumbs up for this project!
I followed your tutorial step by step including the one where you put 3 entries into the registry.
I copied device command from APO configurator -> opened regedit -> searched -> found -> pasted the entries.
However, the option for Loudness Equalization does not show up.
The whole tab isn't even there.
Without this, currently there is much better bass but mediocre mids and highs. Even sounds a bit muffled at times (only mids and highs!).
Any advice?

Pops sounds may appear time to time

As title says, Pops sounds may appear time to time.

Sound worse than before

So I encountered the thin Boot Camp Windows 10 sound using my 16" MacBook Pro 2019 and thought to give this a try, it actually sounds even worse. Volume is super low, EQ is way to drastic (average lowering of -13 db per band?).

Also, why do I need to use use Dolby Atmos? Not a default Windows 10 program, also proprietory.

Would not recommend.
