Nope audio still sounds the same.

 

I honestly don't think having a certain program is the problem. It is probably the audio drive or sound card or whatever it is. Why can't you accept that my laptop is just old?

 

How do I do that?

 

I don't see any of that stuff.

 

So which one do I pick? I see HP, Power Saver, and High Performance.

 

Nope still sounds the same sorry.

 

You can try looking if you must but if these suggestions failed for me I doubt others will work.

 

okay cool thanks

 

Napy dear young lady, please forgive old LC when he says he will not be able to help much with your issue. You see, old LC is under the weather at the moment. In an effort to help you and the others trying to solve this I would like you to answer some queries for me.

1st. Have you tried using external speakers or head phones to see if the sound clears up?
2nd. Are you direct streaming video or audio or is these streams routed thru some kind of capture software?
3rd. What media player do you use?
4th. What sound device does Windows use?

I have listened to the clips you posted and feel that your sound issues are software related. I may be wrong but to my mind it is the more possible. If the sound clears up using head phones or external speakers then your laptop speakers may be at fault. Again forgive me for not having more time to spend with you.

@DCiAdmin - M'Lady, I think you were spot on in your thinking when you offered your advice. The laptop is just this side of a business model and should be very robust. Old LC is thinking the audio is being highly compressed by something. Were the speakers failing they would most likely buzz at some point and rarely will they both fail at once. It is also possible it is the audio device but again I have rarely seen or heard of an audio device that will overdrive the speakers. In my audiophile days yes but we are talking such low power in this case. I ask your forgiveness as well for not being able to do more at this time.

@Arctos - My Bearish friend, you are the undisputed expert on audio and video capture. Given the samples posted by Napy, do they sound overly compressed to you? Trans-coding is not my bailiwick. Your thoughts good Sir?

 

I have tried external speakers, same sound comes through, headphones same ordeal. I use windows media player to listen to music or watch videos, then also use YouTube to listen to music or watch videos etc. Same occurrence with the audio quality.

I don't know what sound device, what do you mean? beats audio and the internal speakers that come with the speakers on this laptop model.

I am sorry for if I upset you or said anything wrong. Please if you don't mind still helping me out that would be great.
