this is a track i mixed with the highs faded out, and it sounds extremely tinny to compensate.

the exaggerated painfully tinny distortion is a consequence of having the volume cut at that frequency.

as mentioned previously: i'm absolutely certain that i've updated those streaming drivers before. and, when they're installed, the audio has a thicker sound that is preferable. but, it's the only thing left to test.
