Too much bass in desktop sounds with a headset, but not during recording, only afterwards

Question

I recorded some video footages with my voiceover, both with Fraps and OBS. (Also streamed with the latter)

• While I was playing everything was fine. (I played with a headset)

• When I played the videos on my notebook speaker, they were fine.

• But when I played them with my headset on, they had too much bass. But only the desktop sounds. The mic input was fine.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

1. The fact that is sounds fine on your laptop speakers is probably because they do not reproduce much bass anyway.
2. To be sure that there is a difference in the recording, and the "live" sound, you could directly compare your recording after doing something like listening to a song on youtube, without changing volume. This allows you to go back and forth. If you're sure there is a difference you could post the example here.
