Improving perceived sound quality on the FW13.

I wanted to put this here as a simple PSA for people who may be unhappy with the overall sound of their speakers and aren't already using software like this. It can help a lot with resonance issues from down-firing speakers.

In my semi-professional opinion, it's not really a hardware issue it's a lack of DSP. Generally, all laptop speakers suck. The difference between crappy laptop audio and good laptop audio is often due to signal processing.

A decent EQ curve and some compression goes a long way. Cutting muddy lows and slightly boosting the highs made a huge difference on my FW13.

The two programs below are audio devices that add a layer of signal processing to your computer's audio output. I'm using FxSound on Windows and honestly wouldn't want to be without it.

Windows: FxSound (free and open-source)

The FxSound preset I made: Google Drive

Linux: EasyEffects (free and open-source)

EasyEffects has some premade profiles for the FW13. Thx Arch Wiki. https://github.com/ceiphr/ee-framework-presets
