3.13 eq.cfg and sound.cfg headup

The old 5-band EQ.cfg does config the first 5 bands of the new 10 band EQ.  However, the point I was making was the last 5 bands will maintain it's "left-over" settings.  Deal with it or don't deal with it...I was just making a heads up call.

This would only matter if you had loaded a 10 band EQ preset prior to loading a 5 band EQ preset. Otherwise, the additional 5 bands would have 0 gain and would be dismissed. I suspect that is what happened here? Otherwise it is nothing to worry about. The frequency and q of the "extra" 5 bands would remain, but as the gain would be 0 these bands would not be applied.

If a user continued to use their own custom 5 band EQ presets without ever loading one of the updated built-in 10 band presets, they would never notice any difference at all and the EQ would continue to behave exactly as they expect it should. If however the user was to mix and match, changing between 5 band EQ presets from before the change and updated 10 band EQ presets, then yes "weird things" will happen.

My advice for users in this situation that want to keep the 5 band EQ functionality of their custom presets would be to load the default/flat EQ to ensure that all bands are set to zero gain, and the frequency stepping and q values are as expected, load their custom 5 band preset, and then re-save the preset. This will ensure that the new preset .cfg is saved with the expected values from their 5 band preset as well as saving the values for the unused bands. The result of this being the ability to seamlessly switch between the built-in 10 band presets and their own custom 5 band presets.

Crafty:
nice post.  maybe it needs some sticky glue.

wow, I was getting two doses of augmentation.  "weird" gain was at +120 or ~180 at 4khz.
