Windows 10: Realtek audio driver causing distortion/speaker

In my right speaker, I have a slight distortion when i hear high-pitched sounds. I checked on my headphones and I dont hear it. I updated my Realtek audio drivers a few times. It improved the first time. I still have a subtle issue and I'm not sure what to do.

I switched the inputs on my speakers and I still seem to be getting it on the right speaker. it might be the speaker, but since it improved with the driver update, I thought I'd seek advice here before buying a new one.

Audio Distortion

Hello. I am running on Windows 10 Pro build 14222. Whenever I play audio/video online there is a very annoying audio distortion. I tried reinstalling audio drivers and I reinstalled windows 10 and all the drivers. Even after that audio distortion has not
been solved. I have got a replacement of speakers and IO board and still the problem persists. There are absolutely no sound enhancement and the sound is set to CD quality. Audio troubleshooting and using Microsoft HD audio driver instead of Realtek didn't
help. And I am running the latest updated drivers prescribed by dell. Kindly help me out with a solution.

PS: I am running on Windows 10 Pro.

System Specs are : Intel i5(7th gen), 8GB DDR4 RAM, Realtek audio.

While Running DPC Latency Checker and LatencyMon I am getting huge red bars. (High Latency Issue)

Did you update the drivers to the latest one ?

if yes manually update the drivers to High Definition Audio Device via device manager.

 

I have the most recent driver downloaded from the above sticky. But, everytime I try to update it via Device Manager, it says the most current driver is already installed. My version now is 6.0.1.7708. The most recent is 6.0.1.7735. help!

 

Follow these steps:

1) Create a system restore point
2) Right click and click on update driver
3) Click on Browse my computer for driver software
4) Click on let me pick from a list of device drivers of my choice
5) Click on High Definition Audio Driver
6) Click on "Yes" on the prompt
7) Once updated, reboot the PC

 

Ok I did that and now I hear nothing. Should I repeat the above process with Realtek instead?

 

Now uninstall the drivers from the program and features and install the latest drivers from Realtek / Manufacturer's website.

 

I tried all that and got the new drivers installed. Same issue. I banged my speaker on my desk a few times - IT STOPPED *Biggrin *Biggrin *Biggrin
