So I reinstalled windows 7 after some virus issues, although now my sound quality is a lot worse than before. With headphones, I installed the same realtek hd audio drivers I had before twice. But my sound is just bad, it sounds muddy and unclear. Any suggestions??

UPDATE: After testing audio with a different pair of headphones, the audio sounds fine although these are earbuds and I need a headset. My headset is a razer carcharias, it isn't usb, only the green and red wires. Any idea why they sound so bad with these? They sounded great before reinstallation
