So music sounds shitty on my brother's computer. I don't know why. I've been trying for months to figure out why. My first thought was that since I'm using a cord extender for my earbuds through the monitor jack, that [tornado fang]'d up the sound quality. But plugging the headphones directly into the monitor didn't help.
So after a while I figured out to switch the drivers because Windows 10 fucks up Realtek, and that sort of worked. It sounded a LITTLE better, but it still sounded hollow, so it wasn't that for sure. I went back to using the extender because that didn't make a difference in sound quality any more.
Then I started fiddling with jacks and I noticed something on the extender.
For literally
LITERALLY
no reason, the 3.5mm jack was plugged into a one-inch female-to-male dongle.
So I unplugged it and plugged the extender directly into the monitor.
And it sounded fine.
To double check, I tried on my phone with and without the dongle... And it was that little shitter.
I don't even know why that thing was on there, but it was responsible for [tornado fang]ing up my music for months.
[tornado fang]ing weird.
