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.

 

Auditgy FX Sound Card not recognized in Sound Settings suddenly

Running Windows 10 Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.3208) 64 bit Intel i9 32G memory All of a sudden my Audigy FX card stopped being listed as a sound source. It does appear in Device Manager. Here's what I've tried: 1) uninstalling the device, not drivers and rebooting (hard) 2) Uninstalling the device, and drivers, and Creative program and rebooting (hard) The device comes back in Device Manager but is not seen as a selection in the Sound Settings - so I can not choose it. Open to suggestions. It seems it happened since the last Windows update, but not real sure. It's only started about a week ago.
