static drift
Hi everyone!
I'm French and I don't really understand English very well, so sorry if my message isn’t clear.
I just installed Linux Mint 22.2 Cinamon 6.4.8 (6.14.0-33-generic) and I’m totally new to Linux.
Right now, I have a big problem with the sound — it sounds really bad and distorted, like it’s saturated.
On Windows, everything was working perfectly.
My laptop is an ASUS W751LX.
Does anyone know how I could fix this sound issue?
Thanks a lot for your help!

@static drift

Nothing changes. No amplifier, just sound from the computer
empty shell
test with headphones
static drift
already done and the sound is the same

or headphone/line-out jack to amplifier with speakers

I think this is not a material problem. Work well on windows yesterday
empty shell
on the Output tab of pavucontrol, ensure the volume slider is at 100, or not more than 115%

also, when u play a song, go to the PLAYBACK tab of pavucontrol, and find the application making the song play, and make its slider also 100% or less
static drift
Still awful 😅
empty shell
install easyeffects
see if you can turn down any pre-amplification or boost from there
or any equalizer, that you can lower down to clean up
from what I read of your post, the sound is overdriven and distorted
static drift
already tried this too 🥲
empty shell
have you tried to boot the Mint live USB and test the sound from the live desktop?
static drift
Nope
empty shell
do it.
if the issue is there, then that means it was there from the very very start.
static drift
Ok I'll try
