    Random Periods of Lowered Audio Quality (Sounds Like Radio)


    My friend's laptop, a Dell G3 3779, started having random periods where the audio quality would lower as if it were being played through a radio, we tried to update the Realtek drivers to no avail, also uninstalling them altogether then restarting.

    Audio isn't my area of expertise so I haven't tried much else to be honest.

    Windows version 1903.

    :)

    Sound Quality

    One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

    May not be a speaker problem.

    Issues with sound in games, sounds like it's on the radio


    Thanks I will try suggestions but I think you are not accounting for the issue that a previous laptop of mine had no problems which I mentioned.

    Well this is what the program says for me

    very low audio quality after amber update

    After installing amber update audio quality and volume has dropped significantly! Volume through speakers is alot lower, and when plugged into headphones audio lacks quality and depth. There is barely any bass and volume is very low, sounds like listening
    to a clock radio very disappointing, as audio quality on my 920 was very very good the best of any phone so far before amber update!
