Volume Control / Microphone

How come under the “Advanced” microphone options (accessed from the volume control), I can’t adjust the bass or treble? The options remain unhighlighted and unresponsive. Thanks

Am I allowed to guess in GQ?

I think it’s because your soundcard (or the software that came with it) do not support that option. It’s not a standard Windows option?

Damn. If that’s true, does anyone know if it’s amendable by a software update, or is it a physical matter?
