    After a bit of investigation, it's from the "Waves MaxxAudio" App. This app can be tuned/disabled through the Predator App under the App center portion. Turn that guy off, and your echo goes away. That particular App might be useful in a gaming situation, but if your just watching videos or listening to music it falls a little short. I never thought I would say this, but let Windows control your sound and you will be fine, lol.

    deepblue you cpu shouldnt go over 80/85 max and your gpu 75'ish if its overheating that much youre thermal throttling optimize windows and undervolt check here if you havent already and if the issue remains you have to get it repasted with kryonaut or similar if you can yourself or send it back to get it repasted

    The only way to fix thermal problem was a liquid metal to cpu, it decreased max t from 92° down to stable 80°
