My sound device now shows up as a 'Realtek High Definition Audio' instead of something with the 'SST' name in it. So to fix the issue you have to downgrade the hardware driver.
Once I did that, poof! Issues when playing music on headphones were resolved! After going thru that I was given the option to use the 'High Definition Audio' driver instead which looks like a 'downgrade'. I ended up going to Device Manager > System Devices > Finding the Intel smart audio device (with the "SST" driver in the name), and opened the device, updated the driver and picked the let me select option. I just finally fixed the audio issue for myself. How is this an upgrade? If I woudl of heard about this issue in reviews I would not have wasted $1900 on this laptop. So the driver that the Spectre ships with and that B&O audio is literally RUINING the audio, particularly if you try to listen to music with headphones. I tried installing a driver from another thread and for about 15 seconds that solved the audio problem, but Windows wanted to update the Intel Smart audio and once it did that and rebooted, the original driver that shipped with the laptop was back in use, and the headphone jack audio was back to crap. And of course, you can't add bass back in as the B&O audio app shows the settings greyed out. The output on the Mac was nice and bassful, while the Spectre sounded like a terrible audio version due to the lack of EQ being applied. To prove my point, I played the same song between my Spectre and my Mac Book Pro Retina the Spectre was supposed to replace. when you would plug in your headphones there would be no bass or anything to the audio output, it would sound like your audio was coming out a super cheap $5 headphones regardless of what hardware you are using. I had this same issue, but another thing.
