I recently discovered that two machines I use have this utility called the Realtek HD Audio Manager installed. Normally I'd think such a utility would be lame, and to some extent it is. E.g. the karaoke (voice cancellation) feature doesn't seem to work well whenever I've tried it.

On the other hand, I found that I am sometimes fond of its echo / reverb environment settings which affects all sound output on the system. On my computer at work it suddenly started working one day and I don't really know what caused it to work. The next day I had to restart my computer and I noticed that the environment settings were disabled after it started up again. Tried turning it on myself through the Realtek program found in the control panel. No luck.

So I tried googling for quite some time to figure out what might cause something like this, and I could only find people with the opposite problem - people trying to use voicechat programs like skype wanted the echo effect off. And that's understandable.

So I get home that day and try it on my home computer... and it works like a charm. So I get to thinking, what are the differences. I use headphones at work, and speakers through my LCD monitor at home. So I get back to work the next day and wonder if taking the headphones out will reset the audio device and maybe I can apply environment settings with the jack out. No luck. The strange part is that the karaoke feature works (as well as it will) and the pitch bend feature also works. The only things that don't seem to work are the environment and equalizer features of the control panel.

Any ideas?.... I'm out of them.
