When I play music through the computer it sounds ok but when I listen through headphones it sounds like it is being played through cloth, it is distorted and sounds far away. I have switched the settings in sound preferences to make sure that it plays through the headphones but doesn't sound any better. Is there any way to get crisp audio?
