Looking for Bang & Olufsen sound settings that sound good

[nrowesn2]

The factory settings for the bang&olufsen speakers don't sound good at all.....wondering if anyone has any suggested settings for lower volume modes.  Expected bose like quality and none of them are good at all.

How does it sound with external speakers?

Have you checked with a headset?

This is done to isolate the issue. If external speakers or a headset works fine, then the internal speakers may have an issue and may require a replacement.

Please try these steps out:

Solution 1:

• Right-click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select 'Playback Devices'.
• Left click the default device once to highlight it ( it's usually 'speakers & headphones' ) then click the Properties button.
• Click the Enhancements tab and put a tick in the box next to 'Loudness Equalization'.
• Click Apply to save the change and then click OK in all remaining windows and see if this has helped at all.

Solution 2:

• Right-click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select 'Playback Devices'.
• Select the Communications tab up the top.
• By default ‘when windows detects communications activity’ is set to ‘Reduce the volume of other sounds by 80%’.
• Change this to ‘Do nothing’.
• Press OK.

Then restart the computer and check again. If this does not do the trick for you,

Please uninstall the audio drivers from device manager.

Then update the bios, chipset and audio drivers from this link: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-ENVY-34-All-in-One-Desktop-PC-series/8499667/mode...

You should Try Fn + B Key Combination. It Should increase the Volume and The Loudness of the Speaker.
