  1. No help found, update messed up my audio now there’s a weird echo?


    I’ve been at this for hour now, after updating to the new windows update it ruined my audio quality and now it sounds like I’m playing the sound in a massive empty room, the help I’ve found is to change settings that I don’t have, uninstall and reinstall Realtek (which I don’t trust myself to do), and troubleshoot (which I tried and it said nothing was wrong). This happened the last time my computer updated and I was able to fix it then but now I feel like there’s less options than last time?

  3. My Windows Audio is a Mess

    Hi there Punchcard, I will be your Independent Advisor for today, I hope we can both resolve your problem.

    What I would suggest for now is to completely remove the Audio drivers listed in the Device Manager. Please make sure you remove all listed under Sound and audio devices.

    Here is how to do it.

    Here the steps to completely remove a Device off your computer.

    Step 1. Use shortcut keys Win + X on Windows 10.

    Step 2. Select Device Manager.

    Step 3. Expand the entry Sound and Audio. Right-click the problematic device and select Uninstall device.

    Step 4. You may need to check the option Delete the driver software for this device, and then click the Uninstall button.

    Step 5. Reboot the computer.

    And then please see if there are any improvements.
