Windows 10: 3.5mm jack not working correctly in Windows 10

This issue seems to be affecting laptops that dont have a inbuild sound card to a motherboard.


I am a computer Tech, 3.5mm jack issues since the last few updates of windows 10. I have had to return a $5000.00 alienware system back to Dell due to the sound coming from the 3.5mm Jack was not working correctly. Dell technician came out and replaced all the parts, They updated windows, reversed windows, removed drivers, reinstalled drivers, changed settings in windows and realtech, they did everything windows mentions to do but still does not work. After 5 months the sound still did not work correctly. When playing music the music itself plays normal, but the voice/singing to music is faded in the background to the point you cant hear it. Very distorted


I also have a Acer Nitro computer which is also experiencing the same issue. however this is outside of the warrenty and return period. Cant listen to music through it, cant play and games through it. The Dell team and the technicians that came out has simply said Windows/microsoft has screwed it up again. Seems to be effecting computers that are not your every day type harvey norman purchased computers.


It has come to my attention that you windows have broke your own product.


Can you please bring out a update to fix this world wide issue......

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
