So I am using a new laptop and notice that the sound (coming from an HDMI port into AVR which the drives my sound system)
is much better than my old laptop. Strange , I thought the sound coming from and HDMI is digitally encoded the same way (both windows 10 machines running musicbee with wasapi) so Im surprised the sound quality is so different.

Any ideas on why this kind of difference occurs?
