Try checking the settings (Start, Settings, Control Panel, Sounds and Audio
devices, Volume, Speaker settings - advanced). Ensure the appropriate
speaker configuration setting is selected here and that you are using the
appropriate output on the rear panel. Sounds like you may be using a 5.1
setting and plugging normal speakers into the subwoofer output if the problem
follows for both speakers and headphones.

Could also check graphic equaliser settings in any program used for sound
settings (AC97, Media player, etc.)
