    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.

  3. Sound distortion on Windows 10

    Since I have my new PC I am experiencing a really annoying issue with my audiosystem.

    When no sound is produced some distorted and static sound comes through my speaker (BOSE Soundlink Mini).

    However, when I am listening to music, play games or watch videos the distortion is gone. But in every pause of sound the distortion returns.

    I have tried this:

    I suggest you to disable all enhancements in Speakers properties and check. Refer the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Click on Control Panel.
    • Double-Click on the Sound Icon and click on Speakers.
    • Click on Properties.
    • Click on Enhancements Tab.
    • Now click "Disable All Sound Effects"
    • Click OK and check if issue persists.
    But that didn't work unfortunately

    If someone could help me, I would be very grateful

    My PC specs:

    MSI H1070M PRO-VDH

    Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600 CPU @3.30 GHz

    Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Windforce OC 6G
