Question / Help Bypass pre-amp equalizer

[larron]

Hello, I'm using a Xonar Phoebuss soundcard, and I have a pre-amp equalizer set in the Dolby program that comes with the card. Now the problem is, I have it set after my headphones, that has a really flat sound. And since I love punching bass, I have that set quite high. Which is perfect for my headphones.

But when I stream, OBS picks up the already equalized signal, which makes the stream sound really bassy, especially if I watch it myself to monitor, the sound gets double equalized, and it sounds terrible.

Is there any way to bypass the equalizer on OBS, some type of setup which would work? Without buying extra equipment, And being able to listen to everything with my headphones at the same time, with the equalizer

You could probably set up a virtual device with something like this, and whatever you would normally send to your sound card, send there. Then go into the device properties and say "Listen to this device" using the Xonar, so that the Xonar will pick up everything sent to the virtual device. Then send the virtual device to the stream and listen with your headphones.
