3.5mm Audio Jack Sound Quality Problem

[forcas]

Hi everyone.

I have sound quality issue with my audio jack. When I put my headphone in it, sound quality annoys me. Music sounds like 128kbps. 

My headphone works quite good with my smartphone (Redmi Note 8). I know that my notebook's sound output is better than my smartphone. I've tried many times.

I guess problem stems from audio driver. I reinstalled already but it didn't help. 

Here you can see my device manager. I don't know it's normal or not.

I can't see Realtek or B&O Audio control in programs section. But it's already installed.

My notebook's model: HP Pavilion Gaming 15-EC0006NT
