    upgraded from windows 8.1 to 10 and now my audio sounds off


    I upgraded from windows 8.1 to windows 10 and now my audio is different, as if it's coming through a phone. i have via high definition audio and the driver is from 2012. i tried to update the driver and manually selected the via high defintion audio driver and the audio still sounds the same except now i have a headphone option that sounds like it has a low pass filter on it. not sure what to do as this is my first time upgrading my laptop

    Unlocked Realtek HD Audio Drivers Windows 7 & 8 (With Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive)

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    The Ultimate Realtek HD Audio Driver Mod for Windows 10

    Everyone that post ids, need just do these steps and you will be good. I kinda tired of keep on uploading the inf. file

    1.Go Open up device manager
    2. Go under sound,video, and game controllers
    3. Find Realtek High Definition Audio
    4. Right click and hit update driver
    5. Browse my computer for driver software
    6. Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
    7. Click Have Disk and hit browse
    8. Click on the Realtek HD Audio mod folder and look for win64
    9. Click on the HDXRT4 and click ok,
    10. Click Next and Yes
    additional if you want dts audio and others, install it now before next step.
    After it is done, restart the PC

    You should be good then and also make sure before doing these steps that you have driver enforcement disabled.

    lost Sound Audio after upgrade to Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I would suggest you follow the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1: Type “windows updates” in the search bar and press Check for updates option. If updates are remaining, kindly install all of remaining windows updates.

    Method 2: If this doesn’t help I would recommend you try updating the Audio drivers from the manufacturer's website and check if the issue persists.

    Follow the steps to update the audio drivers:


    • Press Windows key + X key and click Device Manager.

    • Expand the Sound, Video and game controllers.

    • Right-click on the Sound card and click on Update driver software.

    • Restart the computer and check.

    Method 3:Try Uninstalling and then reinstalling the Sound drivers. Follow the steps below


    • Press Windows key + R, type “devmgmt.msc” in the run prompt.

    • Expand the Sound, video and game controllers, right-click the sound card, click uninstall.

    • Restart the computer, let Windows detect the driver and install by itself.

    • Manually download the latest drivers by going to the manufacturers Website.
    Hope this helps. Please respond for further queries.

    Regards,
