Sound problems after upgrading

[Michelangelo "Spike" Scarlatti]

So I decided to upgrade to Windows 11 today. Now I am regretting it because now the sound is weird. It sounds as if I am underwater listening to anything on Youtube and what not. 

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Yes, I googled this and tried a few things but nothing worked. :/

Hi 

What things have you tried?

You may have to reinstall some hardware drivers.

The best drivers updater i use personally is Driver booster 9, made by microsoft, it fixes any driver including the audio.

Hi 

What things have you tried?

All the youtube videos and one random site that I did google search on.

They said basically the same thing.

This software is not made by Microsoft, but rather IOBit.

There appears to be a free download, but who knows if it has limitations for use.

Joilet was having issues similar to you. Please see if my suggestions in his thread could help you:

i thought that IObit was related to microsoft, it's free and almost has no usage limitation.

Do you remember what you unchecked? It might be useful to make a note for future people with the same problem who stumble across this thread.

FWIW, I've fixed similar issues in the past by unchecking the "Bass Boost" in Windows's sound settings. I don't know if that still exists in Windows 11, though.

Yeah I snapped a picture of it and I turned off Enhanced audio and that fixed the sound issue.
