Sometime in September 2011 HTC pulled its app, “Sound Enhancer” from the Windows Phone market place shortly after the Windows Phone Mango Update was rolled out (Source: wpcentral.com).
The cause to remove the app was because, many users complained, there were many unusual crashes of the Zune music player or even the entire OS on their HTC devices, especially HD7, which was pretty quickly tracked down to be caused by the equalizer app, Sound Enhancer. HTC decided to remove it from the marketplace and promised to re-release it once all bugs got fixed.
Well, almost half a year later, they proved to have kept their word. Sound Enhancer found its way back to the marketplace 2 days ago. Though it’s called “Sound Optimization” now.
Besides the new name and the app now being part of the settings menu rather than being found in the app section of Windows Phone, there are no obvious changes. I can also confirm that even under excessive usage of my Zune player with altered sound settings my HD7 didn’t crash once on me.

I am not finding this app in the Marketplace.
If you still have the old HTC Sound Enhancer app installed, there should be a notification on your marketplace tile about an update called “Sound Optimization”.
That’s the app that I have installed.
If I do a search in the marketplace, i don’t find anything.
And about that update notification, that to is missing.
Perhaps that app is not yet available for all countries or marketplaces.
P.S. I am from Romania.
Searching for it doesn’t give me any results either. But it appeared as tile notification 2 days ago. You could be right about that region issue though.
Hello!
Can you please tell which is your marketplace region?
Thanks in advance
Check under your account to find if the app is listed under your purchase history. If yes update from there or reinstall. You can also use the reinstaller app for windows phone to do that.
must be a regional thing. i live in florida in the usa
just tried to reinstall it, and i could not install it
