AudioHQ

control applets that allow you to view, audition or set up the audio properties of one or more audio
devices on your computer.
As in Control Panel, you can view AudioHQ's control applets in the main window as large icons, small
icons, list items or detailed list items. You can also select all or invert the selection when you are in the
Applet view. The number of items in the main window, however, varies with the control applet or device
selected. The By Audio Device view shows only the control applets supported by the selected device.
The Applet view shows only the audio devices that support the selected applet.
