Pavilion 15da 1004ns
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a Realtek integrated sound card on my laptop, running the latest driver version. I experience audio compression. (The bass seems to quiet down even when I crank up the volume) there was a time when this never happened. not sure what changed. The audio compression is really bad since it caps off some good bass hits on my headphones.

How can I remove this effect, some reg hack or something? Plus I have checked the playback options tab: the enhancements tab is missing + the telephone call setting is set to do nothing.

I have also tried the default High Definition Audio Device, the audio compression is much worse.

Things I have tried:

  • 2 Clean Windows Installs (Including Formating my SSD)
  • The default High Definition Audio Driver
  • Changing Sample rates
  • Almost all Relatek 6.8xxx.x drivers
  • Deleting the hole MMDevices folder in windows registry
