Hey guys/girls,

I've just installed Windows 10 and got everything working smoothly.

Just playing a couple of tracks on my PC and I've noticed there is a significant drop off in bass compared to Windows 7. Having delved around in settings I have found no real explanation for this.

I've updated the audio drivers to the latest version but to no avail.
I've made sure that any audio enhancements are turned off.
I've checked various sources (google play via edge & chrome, MP3's, Wav's)

It seems to me that something within windows is either applying a high pass filter/shelf eq, or boosting the mid-range; either way the audio is not right.

A quick google search seems to suggest that I am not the only person that is experiencing this problem
 
Solution
I have found a fix:

I uninstalled the latest drivers and switched to the Windows 8 ALC269 drivers (I got them from the Dell website, but I'm sure they are available elsewhere)
