Is this with digital audio? (device manager, ...) If not, change it and pull the analog audio cable entirely.
What are you using for speakers? Is the computer gain too high or low so you have to compensate at the speaker amp?
Otherwise I'd be looking for any filters or "enhancements" in the sound control panel. Depends on the driver set but uninstalling doesn't necessarily remove bogus settings.
