I've had a look through some sound settings that others have posted, I wanted to post what I've ended up at. Some of the others I tried seemed a little 'hollow' and I've found these settings to give me what I consider to be the most rounded and full audio I've been able to get.
Maybe you want to post your settings to help others get some great sound?
I'm really struggling with mine. Seems like no matter what I do I cant hear any bass line, bass guitar, deep cello, or the bottom third of the piano. Deep boomy lows and ear splitting highs. Not much in between. The last B&O on the B8.5 was much better.

Audi has gradually degraded the quality of the B&O system in the S4. I had a 2010 B8, a 2014 B8.5 and now a 2016 B8.5 and the sound quality was best in the 2010. The current car is absolutely garbage and I expect nothing more from the B9 I am about to get next month. Shame on Audi for using a highly revered name in audio and delivering junk.
Geez, guess I'll add an alternative voice here, I love the system. Don't forget this is a 755 watt, 19 speaker, 16-channel amp system. Calling it garbage seems extreme. A garbage system to me would be anything in pretty much any rental car I've ever driven. If one is accustomed to overpowered, top tier systems, I can see the experience being like stepping from an R8 to an S4 and being disappointed. But I really enjoy the sound as delivered. It does matter what sources you use, however. Some bluetooth sources and satellite radio aren't that great, but that's not the car audio system's fault. That's garbage in, garbage out. SD cards with proper bit rate recordings sound excellent. I have my settings all very close to what the OP has shown, and I truly enjoy the sound, no complaints.
Yeh thats a very good point. You could throw a 128Kbps MP3 at it and the audio quality would be awful. However a nice bit-rate FLAC and you're getting somewhere.
Try a tone generator and see if you can hear anything in the range of maybe 50Hz-500Hz. I used one to find specific resonance frequencies but you can use it for seeing where your bass cuts off. It might even be a fault.
