Computer Volume Continues to be bass boosted

So my computer has been playing audio with too much bass out of the speakers AND any headphones I've used. I have changed a lot of audio balancing settings but nothing seems so work. I just need some ideas and anything helps. It just interferes with my video and audio editing process, because when I go watch something I made later on another device, it is much different sounding then I would like. Thank you!

    That sounds frustrating! When your computer’s audio keeps sounding bass-heavy despite adjusting settings, it’s usually a sign that some audio enhancement or driver setting is overriding your preferences.

    Right click on the volume icon, go into the playback device properties in the sound settings, disable all sound effects in the enhancements, and that will fix it, if it's a third party audio driver thing, you'll have to uninstall the manufacturer's control panel.
