Disable audio enhancements and save memory

If you have a high definition audio device in your computer (most onboard audio solutions are now high definition, or HD), then you should have the ability to use Audio Enhancements. However, if you are not planning on using these enhancements then it is recommended that you disable them completely.

  1. Right click on the sound icon in the notification area and from the context menu that appears click on “Playback Devices”.
  2. Select your output device (most commonly labelled “Speakers”), right click on it, and then click on Properties.
  3. Click on the Enhancements tab.
  4. Tick/check “Disable all enhancements”.
  5. Press OK to dismiss the dialog.

Big thanks to Kristan Kenney for the heads-up.

    Hi,

    When you left click on your speakers and highlight it there should be an option for properties show up on the bottom.
    Go into properties and the enhacments option is in there.
    Hope it helps
