Windows 10: Distorted Sound since updating to Win 10 Home

I updated from Win 7 Home to Win 10 Home last month. Since that time my sound is distorted and I have followed all of the recommended "fixes" Current version I am on in 1909. I have uninstalled drivers on my sound card and allowed the drivers to be reloaded but still have distorted sound. This problem seems to have been around for years and it still is a problem. I disabled the sound enhancements too with no luck.


What is the fix for my problem?

sound distorted after windows 10 anniversary upgrade

This is where I'm at on my HP laptop with Windows 10 and the Anniversary update.

I completed step #3 "hardware and sound" but that took me to an option for "sound, speakers." There was no "properties" as step #4 suggests. I selected "sound, speakers" and then found "properties." After selecting "properties" there was no "enhancements
tab" as step #5 suggests.

Regardless, I then uninstalled the realtek audio driver. I noticed that when I did this without restarting my laptop that the sound was now tinny, but not distorted as it was previously. After restarting, the sound was again full, yet distorted.

Realtek still shows in my programs list, though it shows no memory is used.

Thanks for your continued help.

 

distorted sound

Hello,

I'm using Win 10 with all the latest updates. I have a Creative Sound blaster Sound-card. I listen to music through my speakers but suddenly there's lots of static and distortion. I've looked at lots of suggestions of repairs on the internet and tried many
of them. For example I've disabled the driver for my sound-card and used the generic driver supplied by Microsoft instead. That worked briefly but then all the static and distortion returned. I've disabled all sound enhancements. I'm at a loss. Can you help
me?

Thanks

 

Distorted Sound

Hi Zaki,

Distorted sound can be be produces if there is an issue with the hardware or software. Please answer the following questions for us to narrow down this concern:

• Is it affecting all music, videos, and online videos?
• Which sound card is set to default? Realtek High Definition Audio or High Definition Audio Device? You will know it by typing
  "sound" on the search box and select Sound, under Playback, the default speaker should have a check.

Please run Playing Audio Troubleshooter by following these steps:

• Type "troubleshooting" on the search box.
• Select Troubleshooting on the result.
• Click View all.
• Choose Playing Audio and follow the steps.

Looking forward to your reply.
