The RealTek HD Audio sounds incredibly quiet after the Windows November update since a few days since it came out.

I've uninstalled drivers and re-installed Asus's stock driver for it, and I've even gone into the HD Audio Manager to make sure Loudness Equalization was in. However, it makes almost ZERO difference now because before then it really made the sound much louder with more Bass, but it's like there no more Bass coming from it anymore in which you're only getting mostly treble instead which makes the sound overall like tinnie...in my personal opinion.

There is no ! symbol within device manager meaning there is nothing wrong detected by the system as a problem.

I've noticed from reading that Windows had problems in the past with Realtek HD Audio drivers, and Microsoft had to come out with a fix for it. So, it seems like that problem that error possibly in the Kernel or that of bad coding has been accidentally brought back in within November's update once again.

My laptop sounds so freakin' quiet and I've always been able to happily play with the volume at 48-50%, but now it's sounds tinnie and I am really pissed off with that for sure..!

My laptop is only just over 1 year old;

Asus GL502 VM (i7 7th Generation version)

When testing the mp3 file with loudness equalization ON you could tell the sound gets more quiet, but if you choose within Audio Manager for the option LIVE it improves the treble making it slightly louder. This NEVER happened before the Windows November update because with both options ON within Audio Manager you could easily hear the music was GOOD & Loud.

Playing back MP4 movie the above mentioned options within Audio makes almost NO difference what so ever, and as before the November the update it was GOOD & Loud but now it sounds tinnie...!

Microsoft get your Developers find where they've gone wrong because it sounds so quiet and it's NOT my laptop's speakers either because I've connected my headphones and it's the same problems through that too - tinnie sounding!

Therefore, this is software issue brought about by Microsoft's November update has my enjoyment for listening to music / videos via my laptop.

Fix this problem ASAP!
