How to fix Win10 Audio distortion


Ever since the last update for win7....and then an update for win10 afew months ago, I have had audio distortion.
When sounds get loud (as in movies or games) the audio starts breaking up.

I followed the Microsoft info to uninstall various drivers....but I have not been able to fix the audio distortion.

Uninstalled logitech headphone software
uninstalled Realtek audio software
uninstalled windows sound drivers
re-booted.

Windows installed software for my headphones automatically. I didn't install the logitech software or realtek audio software, but still have audio distortion.

I don't know what to do now.

Any ideas?

 

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)

 

sound distorted after windows 10 anniversary upgrade

This is where I'm at on my HP laptop with Windows 10 and the Anniversary update.

I completed step #3 "hardware and sound" but that took me to an option for "sound, speakers." There was no "properties" as step #4 suggests. I selected "sound, speakers" and then found "properties." After selecting "properties" there was no "enhancements
tab" as step #5 suggests.

Regardless, I then uninstalled the realtek audio driver. I noticed that when I did this without restarting my laptop that the sound was now tinny, but not distorted as it was previously. After restarting, the sound was again full, yet distorted.

Realtek still shows in my programs list, though it shows no memory is used.

Thanks for your continued help.
