Hi guys,

So a couple of months ago I reformatted my system and only just realised that something isn't right!

With my Topping A90d

I had set the dial typically between 54-58" Youtube " and 48-50" Tidal "
Now as I am listening to Youtube it's on 64 now.. that would be blowing my mind right now...but it's pretty chill and not that loud.

I swear something doesn't quite sound the same. I am worried something is wrong with my device or I hope that the reformat was faulty?
IS there any way to figure this out without having to reformat again?

Thank you.

It's a windows glitch. I had the same thing happening after major updates on both Win10 and Win11 on integrated audio (headphone output to be specific) even without reinstalling, and then on the next major update it "fixed" itself. Reinstalling drivers didn't do squat in both cases. So, at least for now there is no solution. Gotta get used to the new dial settings for now.

Thank you! This makes me feel more at ease and calm now! Quite annoying but I am fine with it!
Much appreciated!
