Hi
So before i updated to windows 10, my headphones sounded great. But after the update it seams that all the dynamics in the music has been removed... I have tried my headphones with my phone, and they sounded like normal. So the headphones is not the problem. I have tried looking through eq's in the settings, but they don't do any difference. And i have tried to install and update for my sound card, but it's up to date...

So any ideas, whats wrong here?

Do you have a special panel for the sound, such a Realtek HD Audio Manager which shows in the hidden icons on the Taskbar?

There has been problems with Windows 10 and Audio drivers. Some were using low sampling rates meant for a voice device. So your headphones show as Default and not Default Communications? What sampling rate are they using?
