So I got Windows 10 using Bootcamp, and since I did, the sound has been awful. It sounds like muffled or something, at all volume levels. Any idea why this is?
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
Any solutions to get higher hertz on win10 bootcamp ? On Mbp 2016 / touchbar
Same here on Bootcamp with Windows 10. MBP 15" 2017. Speakers sound like high-volumed headphones, with no lower tones.
All Bootcamp drivers are up to date. Also tried to install Realtek HD Audio codecs. Had no changes though.
I installed the bootcamp drivers it had me install, and it did not have any issues. The speakers it says I'm using are called Cirus or something like that.
Do the speakers sound normal when used on the OS X side?
Yep, sounds completely normal like it always has on the OS X side.
Can you check the Playback quality in the Cirrus driver? It should be set to CD quality. Please see http://superuser.com/questions/698522/how-should-i-decide-on-a-default-audio-for mat as an example.
It was set to 24000 studio, I set it to 16000 CD, but the sound still isn't like how it is on the OS X side. Is this normal, any way I can get it to sound just like it does in OS X?
The sample rate on the Mac side and Windows should match. Check System Report -> Audio on the OSX side and match it on the Windows side.
Here is an example from the OSX side.
SampleRate is 44100 on the OS X side, and in Windows 10 side in Speakers Properies under advanced, it says 16 bit, 41000 Hz (CD Quality)
On my 2012 MBP with W8,1, I have
... and the available list of settings/values is a long one...
Yep mine looks the same way, but at the speakers list at the Cirrus one, it says (AB 07). Yours says (AB 82). I tried swapping back between the 16 bit 44100 CD quality and 24 bit 441000 studio quality, but I don't really notice a difference in the sound.
Can you run the following two procedures and test?
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
Do you have external speakers that can be used to test the quality a bit more rigorously?
Windows 10 Bootcamp awful sound?
