Windows 10: Audio Management

I am trying to get different audio to play from different sources. (An example being like having my game audio play in my headset and the voice audio from those I talk to play from my soundbar) However when I direct these pathways in the audio settings nothing actually changes, so what am I doing wrong?

Microphone audio is distorted when I listen to audio playback in Windows but fine in Realktek Audio Manager

Hi Marc,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being part of Windows 10.

I understand your concern about accessing the sound on your device.

Do let us know the make and model of your device?

I would like to inform that there will be same drivers for audio from motherboard and sound card. Windows will have basic audio drivers for the operating system (Realtek).

Try few of the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

Step 1: I suggest you to run Audio troubleshooter.

• Press Windows key from the keyboard, type
  Troubleshooting and select it.
• Click on view all option on the upper left corner of
  Troubleshooting window.
• Select the Audio options from the list.
  
• Click Next to run the troubleshooter.

Step 2: Uninstall and Update the driver.

I suggest you to uninstall the existing driver and update it.

• Right click on the Start button from the desktop and select
  Device Manager.
• Expand Audio inputs and outputs, right click on
  High Definition Audio Device and click on Uninstall.
• Restart and Windows will re-install the
  IDT High Definition Audio driver.

Also, if you find the latest drivers you can install them manually on your device.

Hello,

Please reply:

  Device Manager from the options.

• Right-click on the headphone driver and select Update this software
  option.
