You can Change Equaliser Settings on Speakers in Recent Windows Phone Devices

When testing Lumia 535 for music, I discovered a setting which I haven’t, and still don’t see on my other Lumias Running Windows Phone 8.1. It is now possible to change equaliser settings when listening to music on speakers instead of earphones.  I have a Lumia 1020 which is still on CYAN and it does not have this settings enabled and asks me to use earphones. When I researches across multiple forums, many are still looking for this feature to get enabled even though the Cyan Change log had this feature mentioned.

Windows Phone Equalizer on Speakers

How to check if this setting is enabled on your phone?

  • Go to Settings > Audio
  • Unplug any headphones, if any.
  • See if you can change the audio setting by tapping on the drop down or on the graphics equalizer.

This should be possible on all Windows Phone with CYAN update, but it seems Microsoft needed something else to flick the switch. As of now, its only working on Lumia 730, 535 and even on 830 ( Thanks Aleem to confirm on this) which are all new devices coming with Lumia Denim update. Quite possible that Microsoft has flicked the switch in its recent update to make it work.

Can you see the same for your device ? If yes let us know which phone and update you are running on in the comments.

Note: I am not running developer preview on any of the phones.
