    Audio channels not working properly after Windows Update


    I have a PC that is roughly a year old and worked fine until yesterday. Then the Windows Update installed and the Windows Store broke. At that point I reset my PC via the Refresh option. Afterwards all my software gone (sorry but that is not a REFRESH) and I had to install the Creative Soundblaster Software and driver again. When that was done I realized that now the surround sound is broken. Nothing changed hardware wise in terms of cables or such but suddenly the left rear channel audio is played (with distortion) via the right rear speaker and the right rear channel audio is played via the front right speaker. Stereo/front/center bass channels are all fine.

    I have testwise disabled the integrated audio via UEFI firmware (which I actually need for a second output system and it worked fine until yesterday) and uninstalled/reinstalled the Soundblaster driver and software, but the problem remains.

    Since it is not the first time that a Windows 10 update screws up surround sound I am tempted to believe that is another such case. How would Microsoft learn about this?


    Intel i3-7100

    Intel HD 630

    Creative Soundblaster Z

    Windows 10 Home 64

    I think today's windows update(stable channel) solves d issue

    Cumulative Update KB4020102 Windows 10 v1703 Build 15063.332

    • Addressed issue where, after installing the Creators Update, audio output through external decoders no longer works.
