Windows 10: Win11 Sound VS Win11 Sound

Couple days ago I installed Windows 11 on my PC, great overall upgrade, minor visual tweaks that it could use but I was happy with the experience. Until I went over my audio settings to see if everything worked correctly, music, games, VOIP, etc.Everything worked fine, right bass, reverb, you name it. But except for general music from browser and Spotify and my games. The sound came back hollow and very fake surround sound. Felt like using a speaker from a 2001 school computer.I went over every setting I could find, even in the software from my headset but I couldn't get rid of my issue. Eve

Sound Quality

One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

May not be a speaker problem.

 

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

 

Sound problem

Hi,

We need to investigate further so that we can identify the cause of the issue. We suggest running the Troubleshooter and see if it helps. Follow the steps below:

• Type and select Troubleshooting on the Search bar/Cortana.
• Click Hardware and Sound.

If the steps does not work. We suggest downloading a fresh copy of the audio driver from Realtek and see if it helps.

Looking forward to your response.
