Windows 10: sound drivers suck since forever

hello,my computer's been losing audio on apps for no reason since I bought it roughly 2 years now. It came pre-installed with W11. I do not want to really report a problem or get support here, I just want to rant about this specific problem because it won't be fixed unless I use the get help application or restart the device.so... yeah. alongside all the problems, windows 11 itself particularly the sound drivers suck. whenever there's a software update, it successfully takes some feature away until the next one, like my ability to use the f4 key to adjust the brightness - but it'll work ju

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.
