I want to know that is there any audio equalizer for Nvidia Card? I have home theatre attached using HDMI cable to my GC. My home theatre have no bass controller. And I couldn't find any audio equalizer that works well.

Nvidia is great at graphics, not at audio.
Try using an optical cable from your motherboard to the receiver if possible.

What model is your receiver?

yea for sound output you can use the video cards audio in a pinch, but even your onboard sound has better quality

I would like to offer a counterpoint to some of the statements in this thread. NVIDIA is neither good nor bad at audio. They do not "process" the audio. For that matter, they do not even decode the audio. They merely pass the audio along as 1's and 0's to the display or receiver which then decodes, and converts the digital information to analog. It is the decoding/converting device which imparts a sonic signature onto what you hear. So, for all intents and purposes, if you have an AV Receiver, by all means send the audio over the HDMI to the Receiver and let it do the heavy lifting so to speak.

Honestly, when it comes to using a receiver, I preferred the HDMI pass-through on the card. Basically because it can run at 5.1/7.1 with 192Khz. If you send it through optical, you can not achieve that level of audio.

That is an unfortunate limitation of the Optical standard. It is not a limit of the capabilities of the cable, it is an artificial limitation, but a limitation none the less.

If you are running a high-end sound system, then the HDMI pass through works best for multi-channel setups. It would just be nice if they would allow only audio to be passed through and you didn't have to set it up as a separate desktop. When I had this setup, I had to use the displayport for my monitor (monitor only had displayport) and HDMI to the receiver. Both were setup as displays and Windows acted like there were two monitors. This is OK, but then the graphics card would not down clock. Of course, if you don't need displayport, you can just go from the video card to the receiver to the monitor and you should be OK. I was never able to test if that creates input lag though.

I'm pretty sure the Nvidia Control Panel has no audio equalizer option, however, you might be able to get Windows to some what do what you are wanting. You mention the home theater has no bass controller, so I'm assuming you either want to boost bass or lower. Boosting I can't help you with, but this might help you with lowering bass if that is what you are needing, and assuming you are given these options by Windows. In this tutorial I will be using my Philips TV as the audio device, with a single 4K 60 hz hdmi going to my TV. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit, but I imagine most other version will also work. I have tried to break this down to 6 steps, with an optional 7th step for more control.  *Note* - I was playing some songs on Youtube and the audio would stop whenever I changed things and I would need to refresh youtube or move the play slider back a bit.  *optional step*
