Volume Swings During Songs with Beats Audio Enabled?

[adrynalyne]

I just used it on my Envy 15 3033CL.  Works fine.

[Bren10]

I just downloaded that update and its the same   i restarted and when i check the driver info it says 7 24   not 8 24 

Same issue here

[Bren10]

I downloaded that driver twice already      and it says its updated  but then when i look    it is still this verion

6.10.6418.0      **bleep**!

[adrynalyne]

The driver date is the day it was built, not the day it was released. 

[adrynalyne]

6.10.6418.0 is the correct version....

Thanx Adrnalyne..   I been here since the beginning  complaining  and following all the content.

Your right...... i adjusted the space level and it seems to be much better    i do still notice it a little though...  It seems to be fixed around 80 %    i wonder if that is something that is in beats software desighned so you dont blow the speakers with to much bass. But like i said much better...   Do you think the registry change we made with the workaround should be undone?  I wonder if the change we made has any effect on the newer version.  I still dont have any enhancements option on my version.   Thanx for starting the thread i guess all the complaining we caused paid off lol

I think you probably should undo the registry hack, if the installation hasn't done it already.  What that hack did was to set the checkbox for "Disable all enhancements" which presumably would include all of the other enhancements that Beats Audio uses to tweak the sound.  You might be kneecapping Beats Audio if you keep that hack in place.  I didn't use the hack (I went the USB dongle route), so I had nothing to undo.  I brought up the Beats Audio control panel and verified that I could still mess around with the sound characteristics (graphic EQ, space, "focus" whatever that is, etc).

[adrynalyne]

I am debating if I want to keep these drivers.  One one hand, they give me Beats options I never had before.  On the other hand, I lose the ability to turn off Beats (fn-B), and I think two of my speakers aren't working (Envy has 6.1).

Decisions, decisions.

[Bren10]

really    i can still turn mine off on the settings

[adrynalyne]

I can too, but the hotkeys don't work.  I mean, the update wasn't meant for the Envy, so I can't complain too much 😉  I am still comparing both driver sets (neither of which are for Windows 8).
