Flat is good.
Dull isn't
Also the smiley face is done by newbs to audio. I was one of them, and learned what equalization is up and down, left and right. It should only be applied after the last tweak of poor acoustics or recordings. Most of the time there is plenty of bass and treble. What lacks is good midrange in commercial audio.

What works best for me is keep everything flat, that just means what comes out of the cd signal is the EXACT mix that is sent to the speakers.
In the creative mixer set it to from default of 50 treble to 47. This takes care of the slightly over done treble. I wouldn't raise it though
Whats your settings on the bass treble next to volume?
