Windows 10: 1909 - Unable to use Audio Effects/Enhancements

Hi,



I recently updated to Windows 10 v1909 (OS Build 18363.476) and I have noticed that I am now completely unable to to use Audio Enhancements from the speaker settings in Control Panel > Sound

Also within Realtek Audio Console I am unable to enable (uncheck) the `Disable All Sound Effects` checkbox. It will become re-checked as soon as I play music or audio after unchecking it.

I have tried rolling back the update and have also reinstalled my audio drivers, both with no luck. Audio driver is Realtek UWD SONICSTUDIO III TP W10 64 VER6018666



Has this happened to anybody else?

Audio Enhancements

Hi Charlotte,

One step that we could try is to manually re-install the Audio Enhancement, and see if it helps. First, go to HP's website and download the latest Audio Enhancement installer (IDT) and save it to your Downloads folder. Once done, follow the remaining steps
below:

• Search for Control Panel via Cortana search and hit the
  Enter key.
• Open the Device Manager and click Sound, Video and Game controllers.
• Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall.
• Restart your PC.
• Once your PC restarts, it should automatically load all audio driver. Let it complete the process.
• Go to the Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select
  Run as administrator.

Once complete, check if you have the enhancements back and let us know the outcome.
