Windows 10: strange audio, missing enhancements in audio settings

hello, since ive installed windows 10 on my macbook, ive had a few driver problems. one really annoying one is sound. it works but the options in playback devices are missing such as the enhancements. i use speaker fill but the option is completely missing... my driver is a cirrus logic cs4206a (ab11)

i keep hearing odd jumps in the volume since i upgraded to windows 10 and its really annoying... it sounds very quiet so i turn up the volume then suddenly parts of the audio is really loud... its like something is auto-adjusting but doing an extremely bad job at it.
its either my old driver which ive yet to find an update for or its windows... i reckon speaker fill would eliminate the problem if i had access to it.


anyone else have this issue and have managed to solve it?

:)

 

Disable all audio enhancements missing in windows 10

Hi,

in previous versions of windows there was a setting for disabling all audio enhancements in audio device settings,

it is gone in windows 10, and i have a strange problem, that even when no sounds effects are turned on in windows or realtek settings, I can hear low frequencies of my sounds are boosted.

In win 8.1 i just turned off all sound enhancements, which fixed it.

I cant find registry value for this option.

Could it be somehow activated?

I installed latest realtek audio HD drivers

 

the audio in my PC with Windows 10 is not working

Hi, if you don't see the enhancements tab then hopefully someone with the realtek audio device will be able to tell you where to look under its settings for audio enhancements.

You could try looking under Environment to see if there is any similar setting to audio enhancements.

 

I've done everything under the sun to fix this. I too, am missing those tabs plus speaker fill now. The only option I can have is the Stereo option, which sounds like the audio is coming from a box.

I have a thread about this too, but it's being neglected entirely. I even have the absolute latest Realtek Audio update. All the good options are gone, and so is the good audio.

 

so its not just my driver that has the issue then, thats good to know. i hope theres a fix....

 

I called Microsoft Tech Support yesterday and even they were baffled. They took control of my PC, and had no clue.

They penciled me in for a call from one of their "super tech people" for tomorrow morning, but it's as if they've never run into this problem.

 

im actually in a queue right now to speak to tech support. lets see if i have any luck

 

I am having a lot of trouble with sound too. Using a Sound Blaster Recon 3Di (onboard audio). I have installed the drivers that came with my mainboard CD. They were for Win7/8 but they installed without issues. I am noticing a lot of volume oddities specially under L4D2. And today playing Dead Island Riptide the game suddenly went mute. Sometimes when I plug headphones in volume adjustents don't work at all.
