Windows 10: Missing the default audio setting that I need to record.

I was troubleshooting something else for my audio recording program. Just had audio dropouts and pitch distortion while recording over an mp3 track. Other than that, my recording was flawless alone. I tried switching my recording device from it's default "24 bit, 44100HZ studio quality" to "16 bit, 44100HZ CD quality" to see if it made a difference.


I assumed the setting wouldn't just disappear after I switched it. This setting completely ruined anything that came through, so I simply went to switch it back to normal. The studio quality setting is now gone, and it only lets me choose between CD quality and DVD quality.


This presented me with an entirely new and much worse problem, as my audio recording was flawless before.Is there a way to manually switch it back to the studio quality 24 bit without the advanced settings in the sound control panel?


Current failed solutions:

Unplugging and restarting device.

Updating device drivers.

Restore defaults to device.

Audio recording settings / microphone settings on skype not working

Hi Bill,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

There is an option ‘Automatically adjust microphone settings’ in Skype. Try adjusting Skype sound in the application by following the below steps:



a. Open Skype.

b. Navigate to Tools > Options > Audio Settings > Microphone.

c. Select the default device.

d. Uncheck the ‘Automatically adjust microphone settings’.

Also, I suggest you to adjust Skype sound in the control panel to fix the recording issues. You can do this by following the below steps:

a. Open ‘Control panel’.

b. Select ‘Sounds and Audio Devices’.

c. Click on ‘Playback’ tab.

d. Verify that nothing is set to mute.

e. Verify that microphone is checked under the ‘Recording’ tab.

Try updating Skype, if any update is available. Please follow the above steps and get back if the issue persists.

Hope it helps.
