Hi, I had to reinstall Windows the other day and ever since reinstalling Steam and Rocksmith the sound has been really faint and not all there, almost like the bass has been EQd away. The .ini settings have never been touched before the reinstall or after so I'm really not sure why this has suddenly happened. All other audio on my system (from music or video files) sounds normal so I'm 99% sure it's not a hardware issue.

 

Does anybody have some ideas what might be wrong please?

Did you adjust your Sound Properties? Sound > Advanced > then select the highest audio quality? I've had issues with Rocksmith not being loud enough for me, and I just use a FiiO headphone amp.

That appears to have done the trick thanks!

 

How odd that CD quality isn't good enough :/

Glad I could help. It's the simple things that get ya!
