Windows 10: Windows keeps reverting advanced sound settings to the wrong quality

Whenever I startup my system, the sound quality always changes to "2 Channel, 24 bit, 44100 Hz DVD Quality" on both my microphone and Speaker. The Sound quality that usually works is "2 channel, 32 bit, 48000 Hz Studio Quality".

This isn't just limited to startup... this can happen at random times while the system keeps running.


I've found that switching it from "44100 HzDVD Quality" to "48000 HzDVD Quality" and back to "48000 HzStudio Quality" restores my sound for a while until I stop using my computer and sound devices. Then it goes right back to "44100 HzDVD Quality". This even happens within 5 minutes of no sound activity sometimes while I use my computer.

My computer's sound completely crashed once and I had to restart to fix it.


I'm running Windows 10 with an "M-track Audio 2x2" audio interface.


I've tried reinstalling the driver multiple times with no success.

I've tried a Windows 10 reset and thought it was fixed, but 2 days later, the problem resurfaced.


This is an incredibly annoying issue and I would greatly appreciate a solution.

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.
