Breakaway Audio Enhancer

A common problem for most computer users is the fact that sounds are always too loud or not loud enough, which forces us to tweak the volume constantly. With Breakaway Audio Enhancer, fixing this issue is only the beginning. This utility can also enhance the sound quality significantly, for any application on your computer, from your default media player to your web browser. It comes with various presets and easy to understand controls, which give you a much better experience when listening to your favorite songs.

The application is free to try for 30 days. It works on Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7 and it doesn't require powerful hardware. The installation process is straightforward, but the setup wizard will need to install an additional driver on your computer. Besides installing it, you also need to set the application as your default sound device, otherwise it won't work.

For most users, installing and configuring Breakaway Audio Enhancer is sufficient for a better audio experience, but you can make various tweaks if you need to. The application comes with a compact user interface, which you can bring up at any time, through its system tray icon. It consists mainly of a series of sliders and meters, but you can also access a general settings panel, where you can make other fine settings.

Essentially, Breakaway Audio Enhancer is a replacement for the operating system's primary sound device. As a result, everything that makes a sound on your computer will be affected. Instead of making adjustments on equalizers in each application you have, you can make them only once, on Breakaway Audio Enhancer's interface.

The application's effects will be obvious. Besides clearer sounds, you will also notice that all sounds that used to make you reach for the volume knob have been normalized. In other words, you won't have to turn down the volume when there are shootings or explosions in your movie and you won't have to turn it up when people are talking.
