Good afternoon and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

There's no options in the Sounds Settings to change the quality of the sound, only to adjust the volume. The quality of the sound would have to do with the sound device you are using. Do you use any specific sound programs for your laptop?

You can try a clean boot. This will prevent other processes from interfering with the game. Simply open the task manager and select the 'Start up' tab. Disable everything here and restart the PC.
