Windows 10: Help with Distorted sound (Realtek on Msi Z87 Xpower)

Windows notification sounds gets distorted (Playback devices--Test sound), usually when opening youtube in firefox, currently using default win drivers (tried realtek drivers with no luck). When that happens i have to go into playback devices--->Properties---->Advanced, and change Default format (Sample Rate) hit Apply and then it goes to normal.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Additional Info:

Other sounds (movies,games etc) get distorted only if they are high enough middle and low's are ok as far as i can tell.

Sounds in other applications would get distorted only after using HTML5 on youtube, with that problem solved now nothing gets distorted anymore

KB3124263 - Modified system sound

Hello community,

I just installed KB3124263 and it has adversely affected my system sound. Using the main sound output, the sound is tinny and distorted (like in a tunnel). I have an MSI P45 motherboard and it uses the RealTek HD Audio Manager. My speakers also make in/out
buzzing sound during the boot/shutdown process.

It appears I am the first to report this issue with this patch, but nothing else on my system changed except this KB and some Office updates.

I will try to remove the RealTek software and see what happens. MSI will not update this motherboard due to its age so I hope I don't have to rollback my system.

win 10 upgrade hangs, revert failed

System: MSI XPower 64 bit with Intel i7-3770K, Z87 chipset, Raid10 solid state disks.

The upgrade to Windows 10 hung at 24% (83% of files copied) on black screen. The disk light remained on. After 24 hours with no change, I powered it off. On restart, it began restoring my previous OS (Win7, 64). At the login screen, no USB devices are recognized
including the mouse and keyboard. Therefore I cannot log in, enter safe mode or any other operation that requires an input.

What do I do next?

 

I have found the solution to my problem, and posting it here maybe someone other can find it useful, the fix for me was to stop using HTML5 on youtube and go back to Flash, i installed a simple extension "youtube Flash-HTML5" once i enabled it all the problems where gone, using it for a few days now and everything is working as intended, also here is the link to the said extension
