problem: sound is perfect with headphones, but not with speakers
Hi,
I sort of wandered in from a Google search and this seems like a great forum. Read through a bunch of past threads, but not sure if those problems are the same as mine.
About 5 months ago the HD failed and my mom replaced it. I know nothing about the new HD or what was done to the computer, just that when I try to play my music the sound quality coming from the speakers is HORRIBLE. The sound actually WORKS, but I can't hear lyrics very well/at all and there seems to be way too much bass. I have considered the possibility that it could be the speakers at fault...however, they were working fine before my old computer died. Sound quality through headphones is perfect, though...
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
Device Manger says the following about the speakers:
