adjusting eq settings by hand

[ramulose]

I have searched, but to no avail. Can someone point me to a site that explains what each slider adjusts on the equalizer, say for example in xmms or qmmp? I want to tweak my settings to adjust the sound quality for my speakers. None of the presets come close and I don't have the "ear" for sound to just wing it by randomly sliding the things up and down. Sound quality is passable by default when I plug my mp3 player into them. Thanks for the help.

The sliders on the left adjust the low frequencies (bass), the ones in the middle adjust mid frequencies, and the ones on the right adjust high frequencies (treble).

An eq won't actually improve improve sound quality. I'd recommend you not use it if you don't know what you are doing.
