    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue Weird sound upon booting pc :p
     
  3. Weird issue with sounds

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand it can be quite annoying when you have to change audio settings frequently. The volume of the audio might reduce automatically, if Loudness Equalization is enabled in audio enhancements.

    1. Is the issue specific to YouTube application?
    2. Since when are you facing this issue?

    I suggest you to follow the methods mentioned below and check if that helps:

    Method 1:
    Disable the Loudness Equalization from audio enhancements settings.

    1. Right-click on the volume icon on the taskbar.
    2. Select Sounds option from the list.
    3. Click on the Playback tab.
    4. Now right-click on the Speakers and select
      Properties from the list.
    5. Click on the Enhancements tab.
    6. Uncheck Loudness Equalization option.

    Also, change the option under communication tab from sound settings. Follow steps mentioned below:

    1. Right-click on the volume icon on the taskbar.
    2. Select ‘Sounds’ option from the list.
    3. Now click on the ‘Communications’ tab.
    4. Select ‘Do nothing’ options from the list.

    Method 2: If you still face the issue, we can try running the
    Audio Troubleshooter. Follow the steps mentioned below:

    1. Tap on ‘Windows + I’ on the keyboard.
    2. Click on ‘Update & Security’ option.
    3. Select ‘Troubleshoot’ option.
    4. Now click on the ‘Playing Audio’ from the list and ‘Run the troubleshooter’.

    Hope it helps.

  4. Weird sound upon booting pc

    I keep getting this weird notification sound on my PC can anyone help?

    Hi Owrayt,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I can understand your confusion.

    This sound sounds a little strange, and after testing various sounds in the Sound configuration, I didn't find the same sound.



    To better assist you in troubleshooting, I would like to confirm some information with you.

    1. Has the device recently installed any Windows updates or driver updates?
    2. Does the PC have additional audio devices connected to it?

    You've tried many options, but I still recommend that you try Safe Mode or Clean Boot.

    Eliminate additional interference as much as possible and see if the problem recurs.

    Disclaimer: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.

    These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by step so that it will help you get you back on track.

    In addition, the following thoughts may be considered.

    Besides, if you wish, please provide the tips and guidelines you have viewed.

    If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

    Best Regards,

    | Microsoft Community Support Specialist
