Realtek equalizer effects shortcut

Do the MSI UAD drivers come with an UWP app like ASUS Sonic Studio3?

With the UAD drivers, there is no sound panel in the control panel like with the HDA drivers, and the OEM's need to create their own UWP(store app) version for the EQ and effects.

I doubt it'll work but you can try the ASUS ones I'm using: Realtek HD Audio (UAD) Drivers Version R2.8x (8557) WHQL (Asus)

And I know they have the UWP apps with it, and also are compatible with ALC892.

I did some experimenting myself with my MSI system(I just finished putting the hardware back together, and clean installing).
The motherboard is a Z170 PC Mate.

Long story short I tried the stuff I recommended to you, and found on that system, I can forget using UAD.
Th driver installs, but there is no effects & EQ


So I ended up having to use the HDA version(latest drivers of course), although that MSI Realtek driver let you save 4 profiles, there is no way of saving them so you can reload them after an update, of even after a clean install, like ASUS UAD drivers.


And they apply to the whole system and not individual programs, but hey, they sound good

There is another option, not use Realteks UI and get Equalizer APO(program) & Peace Equalizer(UI for EQ APO).

They are a bit complicated to set up, but you'll then be able to switch between settings on the fly.

So, we’ve established that the native sound equalizer in Windows 10 is disappointing. Which apps should you use instead?
Our first recommendation is Equalizer APO. It’s the most powerful, customizable, and full-featured free sound equalizer that you’ll find.
The app operates as an Audio Processing Object (APO), so if your audio uses APIs like ASIO or WASAPI, it will not work.
Equalizer APO’s best features include an unlimited number of filters, multi-channel use, support for 3D surround sound, and very low CPU usage. You can also create multiple profiles (perhaps for your external speakers and your headphones) and hop between them in a flash.
The big drawback is the lack of a graphical user interface (GUI). You need to edit the filters in a TXT file. Thankfully, several third-party GUIs are available. We recommend Peace Equalizer.
