Too little bass or too much treble from product | Bose Solo 10 series II TV sound system
If the sound lacks bass or has too much treble:
Try the following:
Reposition the system to change bass response.
Your speaker has a port on the back. Aiming the port of the speaker at a wall or corner can increase the amount of bass you hear. Conversely, moving the port of the speaker away from a wall or corner can decrease the amount of bass you hear.
Be sure the bass adjustment is set properly.
If the bass setting is too low or too high, the overall sound quality may be impaired. Set the bass to the middle level for normal performance and adjust as needed. For information, see Adjusting the tone controls on your product.

Many devices (i.e. cable boxes, game consoles, Blu-ray players, etc.) let you to adjust audio processing (i.e. bass, treble, compression, etc.). Disable any audio processing settings in the device menu or adjust any other related settings, then try again.
Adjust bass and treble controls on the connected audio device.
