As the title states, I just got a new hard drive and am starting EVERYTHING from scratch including other games. For some reason WoW sounds awful, metallicy or maybe even far away, like Im playing on a GameBoy or a phone. Its hard to explain but its NOT right.
I have checked all in game settings.
I have checked updated drivers.
I have compared how sound is on other games - all games including Skyrim, Stellaris, Tomb Raider, ect sound great.
I have checked music and youtube, everything sounds fine.
I am on a Razer Kraken headset - but again I dont see how it could be that if literally everything else sounds perfect and good quality. But… Im open to suggestions.
I really am at a loss here. Any ideas? Id appreciate any help.
Are you sure the ONLY thing you did was install this on a new drive?
Have you tried installing this back on the old drive and running it from there? (Doubt that’s the issue, but as a means of elimination…)
In reinstalling, you’ve probably reset the sound somehow without realizing it.
One other thing to try: Uninstall your headset completely and reinstall that. That might kick start something.
Actually this is the old hard drive, I just wiped everything - its a long story. 
So its basically brand new, it was formatted.
Not sure if that makes a difference but for shortening my explanation I kept things simple.
I just installed the Razer software last night and it made a difference in my music but didnt effect WoW at all.
How many channels is Wow Using in System >Sound. How much buffer?
if you pay attention when you enter on citys like Dalaran from Legion. Your HD gonna be killed. wow suck now on optimization. gg blizzard.
