what laptop do you have ? make sure the windows audio can switch between audio for internal speaker and audio on headphone jack, the only time i had really poor audio ( i am a software engineer and i used many laptops brands) was on dell laptop where the audio driver (custom installed by company admin for pc fleet deployment) was stuck on a equalized mode that boosted internal speaker volume and did not switch the equalizer mode to normal (flat) when i plugged headphones in the laptop jack
