  1. Audio sounds different than it should on default


    Sorry if title is misleading or somehow not right, but I really don't know how to explain this properly.

    The problem is that my audio has completely changed days ago. Notifications from programs sound distorted and the audio is either very quiet or loud and sharp while it also sounds like everything is behind me, expect loud sounds.
    I have only updated the driver I use, I didn't uninstall it. That fixed the notifications that sounded disorted, but everything else is still bad.

    Here is example of my audio before this happened: https://youtu.be/kvVQjg_5mDI
    and here is one after it audio changed: https://youtu.be/0r5KXdAIxgU
    It's easy to notice the sound when walking and shooting arrows is different in these videos. It may sound like the second video is just louder, but it really isn't.
    *Beside that please don't go on me for posting link to my own video, because I don't get money from it anyway.

    :)

  4. Audio sounds different than it should on default

    No sound while playing audio and video files.

    Hi,

    I appreciate if you could answer to a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

    • Which is the application that you are using to play the files?
    • Did you try the same on a different player?
    • Did you perform any troubleshooting steps?
    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to check if the volume is set low or in mute state in Volume Mixer.

    • Right click on sound icon.
    • Open Volume Mixer check for the application that you are playing the files with and increase the volume and check.
    If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to run “Playing audio” troubleshooter to diagnose and fix the issue.

    Follow these Steps to run Playing Audio Troubleshooter in Windows 10.

    1. Type troubleshooting in the search bar.

    2. Select Troubleshooting.

    3. Select View all on the top left corner.

    4. Click on Playing audio.
