Windows updates broke sound
Hi all
New to the forum.
Frustratingly, after allowing Windows 10 to update on 10th August 2022, with KB5015730 and KB5016616 my sound is totally ruined. Very low volume, quality completely gone, its just tin sounding low volume.
Was working perfectly before and had been tweaked to sound as perfect for my main use, gaming. The difference post these two updates is night and day, its dreadful now.
I use a Razer Tiamat 7.1 v2 (with 5 speakers per ear). It did sound incredible pre these two updates.
I cannot find a number of the settings I used previously to tweak the sound. They just dont appear to be available in Windows anymore. I've used Realtek Audio Console, it had reset a number of settings, I've restored those, but the sound levels and volumes are maybe 10-15% of what they used to be, and again, the quality has totally disappeared.
It was definitely these two updates that have lead to the problem, which one is responsible I am not sure yet.
Any advice on how to fix and resolve please?
Cheers
Vin
