Distorted Sound

Hi Zaki,

Distorted sound can be be produces if there is an issue with the hardware or software. Please answer the following questions for us to narrow down this concern:

• Is it affecting all music, videos, and online videos?
• Which sound card is set to default? Realtek High Definition Audio or High Definition Audio Device? You will know it by typing

i-tunes/External audio device

I recently installed windows 10 and mostly I like it, except for one thing. I can no longer use my computer as a cd player!

I have i-tunes installed on my pc and run it through my stereo. With windows 7 there were no problems at all, but with windows 10 its a train wreck! I filter the signal through a Cambridge audio external DAC unit. What happens is, when windows recognizes
my DAC player (which doesn't happen too often) there is an interruption in the signal (it cuts out) sometimes as long as a second. This cutting out is totally unpredictable. One day I listened to music for over an hour with no issues. Other days it cuts out
so much, it is unusable. Here are some of the things I have done to try and fix it:

• I was advised to update the driver in my DAC unit, but it did not help.
• As advised, I disabled all audio enhancements, but that did not help.
• I excluded i-tunes from my malwarebytes scans, but no luck.
• I re-installed i-tunes once and also updated the most recent i-tunes, with no success.

Some weird things have happened:

windows will recognizance my DAC player but it will still not work. Sometimes I have to restart my pc just to get i-tunes to play again.

Right now, I am at a loss...If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. Thanks!
