AN interesting read for sure. I have not tried any of these and would tend to be wary of them on principal. Not because I think they are harmful or anything, but because I tend to find such features don't give an accurate picture of what the actual audio output is. Maybe it makes a positive difference for some internet streams, which can be of rather low quality. Otherwise though, I prefer to just manually adjust my equalizer in my media player (Winamp or VLC) to get best results according to whatever I happen to be listening to. I'm not a fan of automatic gain-boosting, either. That's what a volume control is for. *grins*
I've had soundcards (like the Soundblaster X-fi for instance) that come with features like this. They call it an "Audio Crystalizer" and it seems to boost bass quite a lot. That's fine if you want to simulate a dance club or something, but generally not something I find very desirable. As for JAWS or other screen-readers ... I seriously doubt you would hear any positive difference. Do you find JAWS speech unclear? I personally have to turn the subwoofer all the way down to zero if I want to use the screen-reader, because giving it a voice that booms, while kind of amusing, isn't really what I'm after. You should try these anyway though. I might. You may find the interfaces to be rather inaccessible though. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cristóbal Sent: November 12, 2017 3:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Top 5 audio enhancers for Windows 10 Hello list, Was wondering if anyones used any of these sound utilities and whether they found them to be accessible and actually do in fact increase or enhance sound quality? Be it audio in general (in my case a laptop) or even if theres any positive impact for a screen reader (for me Jaws with eloquence). I thought Id ask first in case someones already put them through their paces and can offer an opinion and hopefully help avoid having to install and uninstall application after application. Link to the article covering each one is also below. Applications in question are: 1. DFX Audio Enhancer 2. Breakaway Audio Enhancer 3. Bongiovi DPS for Windows 10 4. SoundPimp Audio Enhancer 5.
