Is there is anything I can do about this
I have been using MSI GE72VR 6RF for almost 8 years and I am VERY used to how the audio output is(using the same headphones)after changing some settings in Nahimic 2
Now I switch to MSI Sword 17 HX B14VGKG which is using Nahimic 3 and the sound is just off no matter what I do(in some situations it is REALLY bad)
Both laptops are using realtek audio card

"Is there is anything I can do about this"

Yes, adjust the controls in the Nahimic App. Only you can do this and hear the results.

Obviously most of this is a users opinion and audio perception:
I only really use the Volume Stabilizer as this equalises the levels from various audio sources.
Easy Surround is Off, (any pseudo surround sound features tend to result in mushiness).
Sound Tracker is Off/Disabled. Pointless "feature".
This for all categories Music/Movie/Communication/Gaming.

Realtek drivers and Nahimic updates come via Windows updates. Maybe the manufacturers App.
