New HP Pavilion Windows 11

[Oscar_66]

My new laptop has really crappy audio when using ear buds. My other laptop is a Dell and there is no issues. Great base sound and full depth. The HP sounds like I'm listening through a tin can and there are  almost NO options and equalizations to enhance or add BASE or anything. I', going to return the laptop and just keep my old Dell, unless there is some trick to that crap OS windows 11 with Realtek audio I'm missing.
