    Laptop sound is of low quality now


    My laptop's sound quality is noticeably worse after a recent, lengthy update for Windows 10. It sounds like a cheap computer that's about 20 years old. How do I restore it?

    Here is a screenshot of the Device Manager if it helps. I tried disabling the NVIDIA virtual audio device, but that did nothing.

    :)

  3. Volume problem with Lumia 900

    Now the sound is that low only when I try to listen to radio through an app. It says that it is playing with low quality. What does that mean and can that be the problem with the sound?

    Problem solved. The update replaced the sound driver that I wanted, which was a IDT High Definition (HD) Audio Driver.
