Sound (Audio Playback)

Hi Lerato,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand your concern that you are facing sound issues after upgrade to Windows 10.

I would like to inform that this issue might have occurred due to the existing drivers after upgrade to Windows 10.

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

Steps:

• 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.
• If it works fine otherwise try to search for the drivers with the help of model number of your computer from the Manufacturer’s website and install them.

• Right-click on it and select Test. Take note of what happens and check if the green bars move while the tone is being played.
• Click Properties on the bottom right corner.
• Go to the Enhancement tab.
• Check Disable all sound effects and click Apply. Check if the issue persists.
  
• Go to the Advanced tab.
