Prodesk 400 G4
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I just purchased a Prodesk 400 G4 and I am appalled with the sound quality. No bass, distorted sounds and a very thinny tone.

 

I purchased this to replace a 10 year (yes, ten YEARS) old PC with an onboard soundcard and it sounded great. I don't understand this and refuse to admit this is a hardware problem.

 

Things I tried:
Checked cables and speakers

Checked if I was using the correct 3,5 output jack connector (and not the input one)
Updated Windows
Updated Drivers (from HP and from Conexant's website)

Disabling the audio enhancements on the Controller's properties/options
Disabling the Multiple Transmission on the HP Audio Controls

Using headphones, different speakers, internal Prodesk speaker and my Samsung monitor's speakers, all to the same horrible results.


Please help me, I use this as a audio/mediacenter and I am not happy with this at all.

 

Thank you in advance
J
