What's your set up? By full range do you mean 20Hz-20kHz? You could go to the equalizer (depending on your player).

Define "comfortable" and "full-range", still a bit lost on that.
And foobar still uses the Windows sound system unless it's ASIO4ALL or WASAPI (and even then...)
 
But especially define "comfortable" again.

i mean comfortable dont hurt the ears and dont do damage to ears
 
full range is a type of speaker and there is an option to check if you have one

Non-fatiguing, not strident (assuming lack of peaks, or excess treble quantity/brightness)? Do you mean that? The full-range setting has nothing to do with that. Yes, the concept of subs, tweeters are not lost on me yet :p
 
Might want to try an EQ then to tone the treble down. Or maybe your gear is set up wrong.

but its not on foobar its on everything
 
i mean sound tired my ear

ah :s might be the music you listen or maybe even the speakers/acoustics themselves. 
 
So pretty much ear fatigue? I get that from rap/lots of synthesized bass or songs w/ some bad lyrics. 
 
As for the full-range, it's probably microsoft trying to enhance the sound. Full range is pretty much the 20Hz-20kHz that humans here. So if your speakers/phones have at least that much, they pretty much are full-range. OR they're the big drivers:

^I think they're the ones in the pictures.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-range_speaker as opposed to the multi-driver setups with woofers and tweeters and crossovers.
Not that it matter since you're trying to change a setting in this case, and these speakers (not going to generalize), headphones, whatever have complete frequency extension (in your case) already.
 
The full-range setting is probably a DSP or some EQ that boosts treble and bass, making things brighter. That's where the fatigue is coming from.

Which headphones? 
Speakers on laptops are bright and tinny a lot of the time.
Has this been a common occurrence or just recently came up? The fatigue I mean.
Again, try to EQ the treble down and report back.
Not that it should make much difference with the problem, but the exact Realtec in question (dac chip, etc, etc)
