Audio Enhancements for Microphone automatically turning off

After a recent windows update around last week, I started having problems with my microphone. I use a program for my microphone to make different sounds from it and to adjust the volume. The program only works when Audio Enhancements
in the control panel is left on. After the windows update I was not able to use my Microphone program simply because the Audio Enhancements keeps turning itself off with a window saying, "Windows has detected that audio enhancements for the following device
are causing problems. Audio Enhancements for this device have been disabled, would you like to re-enable them?" My question is how do I stop it from turning off or how can I force it to stay on?

 

Really bad sound quality, audio problems.

Thanks for the update, Elrick. I suspect that you have to check the quality of the video being thrown by Twitch and of YouTube. The video quality has a great influence in producing the quality of sound. You're right about checking under the application settings,
and if web based, that should be on the respective streaming page settings.

Please try this method and see if it helps:

Turn off Audio Enhancements:

Note: Please take note of your original settings, for this will change the audio playback quality of Windows. If this method will not work, please revert back to whatever your personal changes was.

1. Go to Start , enter Sound,
   and select Sound Control Panel from the list of results.
2. On the Playback tab, right-click (or press and hold) the Default
   Device and select Properties.
3. On the Enhancements tab, select the Disable all enhancements check
   box and try to play your audio device.
4. If that doesn't work, select Cancel and, on the Playback tab,
   select another default device (if you have one), select the Disable all enhancements check box, and try to play audio again. Do this for each default
   device.

If this will not work, please reach the support site of Twitch and/or YouTube, for they might be able to give workarounds or permanent solutions.

Please feel free to keep me posted.
