Windows 10: Headphone audio from laptop is bad quality

This has been happening for a while to me, where when I plug in normal headphones with a jack into my laptop, the audio is really bad and sounds tinny. The best way to describe it is that it sounds like the audio when it comes out of my laptop's speakers but in the headphones. The headphones I've used with this laptop have been of good quality like Razer so it's not them. I remember mass-deleting a lot of stuff on my laptop a while ago and I think I might have deleted a programme that recognises the audio?

Bad audio-quality over A2DP

Wanted to bump this again...

I'm running the mango beta right now and the A2DP audio quality is just lacking still. It sounds tinny, compressed, and just all around bad. I was curious if this would be fixed before the mango final ships or not, as I really want to use my wireless headphones
again...

My setup:

• HTC Arrive running mango beta 2

• Motorola S9-HD headphones

• All songs are 320kbps CBR MP3 or VBR V0 rips

• All songs sound excellent over wired headphones on the arrive, and they sound great on my iPod Touch over these wireless headphones.

I had a HTC Touch Pro II before this, and the workaround for the audio was to increase the bitpool and bitrate settings in the registry. The audio quality I have right now on my Arrive is reminiscent of my Touch Pro before I increased those settings, and frankly
it's a terrible representation of what these headphones are capable of...

I have also tested these headphones on a family member's Arrive running NoDo and a friend running mango beta 2 on the HTC HD7 and they all sound the same. My source files are fine, I'm a happy camper when I have wired headphones in, but I want to get away from
that... The sooner I can drop my iPod, the happier I will be...
