Default no bass - 2.1 speaker system

Hi, i have a 2.1 speaker system, and my pc uses a soundmax audio driver. Currently, my speakers works as if they were normal speakers, without any bass, and that the bass/treble control bars found in the advanced options of the volume option are faded out/unclickable on.
Is it a sound driver issue, if not, what is the problem if my wire connection is fine.
Need help solving it, pls pardon my poor technical terms if I get them wrong. Thanks!

Hello Macaroon and welcome to PCHF!

We have a great team of dedicated technicians here as well as a large knowledgeable member community who I am sure will be able to help you

If you could just post your PC specs, along with what operating system you are using and that should speed things up nicely

I will mark this thread as open to encourage others to have a look.

I hope you enjoy your stay at PCHF!

Macaroon,

Have you searched for updated drivers on your sound card? That's one possibility. Another is that your sound card must have mixer capability. I've found something that says without an installed mixer, the bass/treble won't be available.
