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
