A few weeks ago my headphones stopped working. After many attempts, I fixed it by uninstalling & reinstalling the audio device on my laptop. Ever since, I've been experiencing following problem:
Whenever I play a video in firefox/chrome/... it sounds like the audio settings set by MaxxAudio (equalizer, bass, treble, ...) re-apply, which causes the audio to be severely distorted, as if the bass boost is applied twice. This happens when I play a new video, or resume a paused video. It doesn't seem to happen in regular media players (edit: it does, but it's not nearly as pronounced)
Here's a list of things I've tried:
- updated latest audio drivers (manually, because windows didn't find anything more recent than 2014)
- jacked headphones out & back in
- turned MaxxAudio off & back on
- disabled noise reduction in volume control options
Changing the volume oddly enough fixes the problem, but only temporarily until the next video I play / resume.
