[Bounty] Equalizer overlay for Nintendo Switch

[NotUsingAnAltAccount]

I would like to put $100 towards developing an equalizer overlay. As much as I use my bluetooth speaker and headphones that both have an equalizer app for Android, most of the time I use console's speakers. Listening to music while playing games is nice, but without equlizer it's just not the same. I need especially more treble. Anyone else would like to add some more $? I think that this shouldn't be a lot of work, but I might be wrong.

Adding $400 more, so $500 in total if anyone would like to work on it.

Intercepting the system audio data, I think it would be a lot of work...
Hopefully someone wants to do it and is incentivized by your offer!

Someone opened my eyes in a dm writing how much work it would be so that $100 was nothing. I had no idea, so I'm adding much more now. I really hope that someone will do it.

Most modern Realtek ALC audiochips have some built in features to perform equalizing the audio stream automatically.
So all you would have to do is to set up those registers.

I did it. It's pretty simple to do

yes i know this is a old post but cant find anything in rules against this

One year isn't old! Cool, I wonder if those guys with the bounties are still around.
You could withhold it until they come back

This guy never paid my bounty so pretty doubt.

does this allow you to make your console audio louder than it normaly is because the default sound output is pretty low even at max level this would be awesome if it did

That is not the purpose of an equalizer. Rather, it is used to emphasize or deamphasize ceartain frequencies.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BETTER WAY OF OVERRIDING THE MAX VOLUME, AN EQUALISER CAN BE ABUSED TO PERFORM THIS FUNCTION BY EMPHASISING ALL FREQUENCIES.

Thank you for locating that better way.

E.g. using the Amazing Slow Downer on my iPad with a tiny Bluetooth speaker. I can increase the maximum volume at the cost of distortion. The actual solution was getting a beefier speaker.
