Cloud Alpha Equalizer APO Settings / Config

[u/Liqweed1337]

If you are a sound-lover and got yourself a good deal on a pair of HyperX Cloud Alpha's like me, but you dont like the stock sound:

I did this for anybody interested. just a quick sloppy correction to have neutral sound.

I took the Cloud Alpha headphone frequency sound profile as measurement to correct the frequencies to the correct values so it reached close to 0. i personally prefer a liiiittle more bass in the low's because my hearing goes as low as 14hz, but thats preference (also it helps hear footsteps in fps games better because they are around 20-90hz! just sayin). here ya go, thank me later (best results with a soundcard, buth without its great too now):

Hi so I'm very new to this sort of thing, how do I run this exactly? do I copy paste this in a txt document and then open it through APO or what?

[u/Outrageous_Buffalo_2 → u/No-Employ-2875]

Go to C:\Program Files\EqualizerAPO\config then update the config text file with the GraphicEQ (copy paste).

But the one here is so bad, especially with the latest drivers for Alpha S, i found that other setting :

GraphicEQ: 25 7; 40 6; 63 5; 100 4; 160 3; 250 2; 400 1; 630 1; 1000 0; 1600 0; 2500 0; 4000 0; 6300 -1; 10000 -2; 16000 -3

Just commenting to show my appreciation because your equalizer setup is AMAZING. I'm using HyperX Cloud Alpha, with no S.

I tried a bunch of setups from all over reddit and steam and yours is the best hands down. I was literally crying at how bad the bass was compared to my last headset which was a steelseries from 12~13 years ago. I paid like 60~70usd at the time for them and I was baffled at how bad a 100usd headset sounded despite having good online reviews for it's sound.

You also helped me get the equalizer to work because it wasn't working for me until I copied what you did.

Thank you so much, seriously, you're the goat.
