I just updated and now my audio sounds like shit.

That's pretty odd. Did you try turning it off and on again?

One restart post-update restarts changed it and helped, but something was still off. Took me like 30 minutes but it looks like my nvidia HDMI audio output got reset to a really low 16 bit sample rate. Got that set back to a decent 24 bit and its closer, but something is still off. I don't think I had any settings/levels/enchanments.

Sounds like windows changed your audio driver. I'd download the most recent audio driver available through nvidia, then uninstall your current audio driver in device manager and manually install nvidias.

16 bit audio is normal like 320kbps mp3 and not low bitrate
