As I recall, last time the question of bass and treble came up in the forums, the advice from our resident hardware gurus was that very few known soundcards support these features. I get the same `not supported' message as you from QCD, and there's no mention of these features in the Revo console either, as far as I can see. There is the speaker bass management option on the speaker setup tab, which I haven't tried out as yet, and the TruBass control on the surround sound tab. For myself, I can't see what the benefit would be of being able to control bass and treble via QCD, but I may have missed something.

Thanks Brian - I was just curious since creative did support it and the advice on the forum was to go with m-audio. I like m-audio so much better and the fact that it doesn't support it in the same way creative did does not bother me at all. I still have the creative speakers as of now but hope that will be changed before too long. I just wondered if I had missed something with my current set-up.Thanks!
