No bass on headphones.

[UnrealME]

The audio quality was great until a few days ago, the bass just dropped along with the sound quality. The bass is non existent right now. I have tried installing multiple versions of the Realtek HD audio driver but the problem still persists.  I have also tried troubleshooting through the HP Support Assistant but no luck. My system is dual booted with Ubuntu and there are no audio issues on it.  The windows version is Windows 10 2004 (Build 19041.508). Some solutions that worked for others were to disable sound enhancement from the Sound Control Panel but the "Enhancement" tab is missing from my settings.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

• What is the product number of your device? Use this link to find it: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03754824
• Is it intel processors or AMD processors installed?

If its AMD, please manually remove AMD Audio Driver from device manager and then install the softpaq SP107346.

Refer to AMD high definition graphics driver.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

My OMEN by HP 15-dc1052nr has the same issue. I also did everything about installing different drivers. In the end I just came to the conclusion that it's poor design and drivers.

I can get the bass back by unplugging/plugging back the headphones multiple times until it works.

Thank you for posting back. 

I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue. I would suggest performing system factory reset will put the computer back to the original factory settings in this way all corrupted and outdated software will be removed. 

While doing the recovery there is an option to back up your personal files. If you have not previously done one now is a good time. 

Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows)You can also contact HP support for assistance. They can remotely access your system to help alleviate difficulties: www.hp.com/contacthp/

The HP Cloud Recovery Tool allows you to download recovery software to a USB drive. You can use the downloaded recovery image file in order to install the Windows operating system.

Are you an automated response? or are you seriously suggesting a factory reset?

I made the mistake of taking your advice on the first month I had the laptop. And it did nothing.

It didn't do anything for the high temperatures of this laptop either. Or for it getting stuck on boot 20% of the times i start it. Or for the advertised battery life of 4,5 hours of mixed use, that actually just lasts 3 being IDLE and if you're lucky.

I'm really disappointed on HP for never taking fault on how they've made these Omen laptops.

All of the mentioned problems are not things that us as users can solve. They are all just poor design and drivers for the Omen series. HP should be fixing it. Specially how to handle better the temperature raises.
