Windows 10: Windows 10: Left laptop speaker sounds bad

My left speaker sounds a rough when it plays audio

It happened as soon as I tried to dual boot Ubuntu but cancelled the operation due to not recognising Windows




Here's the things that I have done Failed

Reinstalling drivers

Checking for updates

Downloading the same BIOS version

Tried playing audio in Ubuntu to see if that was the issue

Troubleshoot, all I got is Generic Audio Driver Error


Please help this is getting very frustrating for me.

sound distorted after windows 10 anniversary upgrade

This is where I'm at on my HP laptop with Windows 10 and the Anniversary update.

I completed step #3 "hardware and sound" but that took me to an option for "sound, speakers." There was no "properties" as step #4 suggests. I selected "sound, speakers" and then found "properties." After selecting "properties" there was no "enhancements
tab" as step #5 suggests.

Regardless, I then uninstalled the realtek audio driver. I noticed that when I did this without restarting my laptop that the sound was now tinny, but not distorted as it was previously. After restarting, the sound was again full, yet distorted.

Realtek still shows in my programs list, though it shows no memory is used.

Thanks for your continued help.

 

Sound moves to left speaker in games

I have been having this crazy little problem with my sound.
i have gigabyte z390 MB with Realtek on board sound with the updated drivers from the gigabute website.

when i set my sound in windows or the realtek audio console to 5.1 and test it it all seems fine
left , right , center , Rrear ,Lrear and sub all make sound as they should from the corect speaker.

but when i play games or watch video on chrome it seems like all the sound moves over to the left speaker.
it almost sounds like anything outside of windows itseld defaults to 2.0

there is sound in both left and right speakers but the left is much louder then the right (in games /browser)

a 5.1 test on youtube says

Left (left speaker)
Center (left speaker)
right (right speaker low)
RR (Right speaker low)
LR (left speaker)
Sub (nothing)

like i said like a busted 2.0 system
please help !
