Windows 10: Sound drivers and User accounts ...

Hello! This seems simple but I can't figure it out.


I have 2 user accounts on my PC (Windows 10).


When User A logs in I want to load the generic Windows sound driver.


When User B logs in I want to load the Tascam sound driver for my audio interface.


Right now, when the default audio driver is changed in the sound settings, it changes both accounts not just the currently logged in User account. How can I load separate sound drivers in separate accounts upon log in? I can change the drivers manually in sound settings, but this is a huge pain to remember.


Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated.


Thank you.

:)

 

Remove account


I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
   
   Code:

   net user test /del

 

Sound driver issue

Hi Matt,

In order to further diagnose the issue, I would suggest you to check the same issue with the new user account.

Try these steps to create a new user account and check if it fixes the issue. Refer to the steps below to create a new User Account:

• Go to Settings.
• Choose Accounts and then select Other User Accounts towards the left.
• Select Add an Account.
• Enter a user name and hit Next.
• Click on Finish.
• Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
• Check if issue persists.

Hope this information is helpful. Do let us know if you need any further assistance, we'll be glad to assist you.

 

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.
