Nov 19, 2018  Hey folks, less of a question than a heads up to anybody still having the issue of crappy sound quality on their built-in speakers on a BootCamp Windows 10 install. This should work with the following install of Windows 10 Home (1803): The option in Speakers Properties-Enhancements above called 'Channel Phantoming' seemed to do the trick. Boot Camp is a free utility software designed by Apple, Inc. That allows users to install Windows OS (Windows XP, Vista and 7) or GNU/Linux OS on Intel-based Mac computers. This software features two programs- Boot Camp Assistant and Boot Camp. Boot Camp Assistant allows users to partition their hard drive as well as resize an existing HFS+ partition if needed.

Boot Camp Control Panel User Guide

You can set the default operating system to either macOS or Windows. The default operating system is the one you want to use when you turn on or restart your Mac.

Set the default operating system

1. In Windows on your Mac, click in the right side of the taskbar, click the Boot Camp icon , then choose Boot Camp Control Panel.

2. If a User Account Control dialog appears, click Yes.

3. Select the startup disk that has the default operating system you want to use.

4. If you want to start up using the default operating system now, click Restart. Otherwise, click OK.

You can’t change your startup volume to an external FireWire or USB drive while you’re using Windows.

To learn how to change the default operating system using macOS, see Get started with Boot Camp.

Restart in macOS

In Windows on your Mac, do one of the following:

• Restart using Startup Manager: Restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold the Option key. When the Startup Manager window appears, release the Option key, select your macOS startup disk, then press Return.

  If you’re using a portable Mac with an external keyboard, make sure you press and hold the Option key on the built-in keyboard.

• Restart using Boot Camp Control Panel: Click in the right side of the taskbar, click the Boot Camp icon , then choose Restart in macOS.

  This also sets the default operating system to macOS.

For more information about restarting in macOS, see the Apple Support article Switch between Windows and macOS.

Hey folks, less of a question than a heads up to anybody still having the issue of crappy sound quality on their built-in speakers on a BootCamp Windows 10 install. This should work with the following install of Windows 10 Home (1803):

The option in Speakers Properties-Enhancements above called 'Channel Phantoming' seemed to do the trick. You can also add 'Loudness Equalization' to suit your taste.

In case you don't see this option, I would suggest doing the following:

Goto Settings-Sound and click 'Troubleshoot' and make sure you have 'Speakers' selected (in my case it's Cirrus Logic CS8409). The Troubleshooter should then find and apply 'Channel Phantoming.'
