Best way to get Windows sound as good as MacOS

[mrochester]

Hi all.

It's very noticable on my 15" MBP that sound quality from the internal speakers in MacOS is much richer and more vibrant than it is in Windows 10.

Does anyone know of a way to replicate this sound quality in Windows 10? Some sort of equilizer or other software that enhances the sound experience?

Many thanks.

Erm... sound quality is mostly dependent on the actual hardware and driver rather than the operating system.

Maybe check your sound settings? Because you can adjust the quality there, but it's usually set at the highest possible. Or if you're running a virtual machine, then check the settings of that.

I realise that, that's why I'm asking if there's anything I can do so that Windows 10 on my MBP sounds as good as MacOS on my MBP. The sound quality is noticabley worse in Windows 10 on the same laptop.

Ah apologies. I missed the bit where you mentioned that you’re actually trying this out on a MBP.

No worries. The sound in Windows 10 is more tinny and lacking in depth and bass vs MacOS. I was just wondering if there's any sort of 3rd party driver/other software that would enhance the sound quality.

Speaker properties and turning on "loudness equalization" helped me. Not sure if it sounds as good but it's definitely better.

I have the same issue on my iMac, the general sound quality on macOS side is fantastic using the built-in speakers, and in windows 10 (bootcamp) everything sounds horrible, tinny and shallow (poor audio definition and zero depth). I have the latest audio drivers installed so I’m not sure what the cause might be.
