The playing audio troubleshooter is going to come back with “no issues found”. He has severely decreased volume and audio quality. As do hundreds of us who upgraded to Windows I think the problem the original poster is experiencing is that his older drivers are not compatible with Windows I don’t see any mention of the computer brand or model, but if it’s a newer machine less than 2 years old then there should be a Windows 10 driver on the manufacturer’s web site.

If it’s an older machine, it’s possible the manufacturer won’t update the driver. In that case there are a couple of options. The OP has already discovered the trick of disabling enhancements, but as he noted this does break Dolby since it is one of the enhancements being disabled. There are a few other troubleshooting tips on my blog post here:. The suggestion of running the troubleshooter isn’t a bad idea either. The troubleshooter can fix a number of different problems not just the “no audio” scenario , and in fact we’re working on building most of the solutions on the above blog post into the troubleshooter as well.

So in the end, if the manufacturer of the computer doesn’t plan to support Windows 10 for that machine you may not be able to get enhancements like Dolby working, but you can at least get general audio functionality running using the suggestions mentioned above. If your problem happens to be the same as mine, the disappearance of Audio Enhancements could be due to Microsoft forcing a different driver for the sound card.

What I did was roll back the drivers to generic Microsoft ones, and my enhancement options came back:. This should have rolled it back to an MS driver, resulting in the Enhancements returning.

Upon a system restart it continues to install my manufacturer’s driver which I don’t want, as strange as that may sound. I am still curious why for no apparent reason my videos drop into slow motion, natural a lost of audio occurs and a restart will recover. Next to my TV powering off and my PC going into sleep mode this issue currently would not be showing up given my current OS configuration.

The recently updates hasn’t effect the issue like past updates did so something has kind of been fixed. Some new drivers have been published on Windows Update, it’s possible that’s helping to alleviate the symptoms. But I know there’s still some work to be done, so hopefully things will continue to improve. Choose where you want to search below Search Search the Community. I updated to windows 10 recently, like many others.

First issue i have had is with audio. I was getting a serious distortion, sounded like a alarm radio on full volume and sitting inside of a tunnel. It sounded terrible and i couldn’t figure out what was going on, i spent a few hours going through the process of elimination, changing setting, updating drivers etc.

Finally i found a fix, by unchecking enable audio enhancements my audio was once again working right and sounded great. Problem solved right? Well just this morning i noticed while watching a movie with headphones on, i was hearing a lot of background noise in my house and the volume was at and normally i only need it maybe 30 to cancel out noise around me.

So i thought maybe my equalizer was reset and i went to my Dolby advanced audio V2 and when i opened it i noticed the audio visuals wasn’t showing, it isn’t working at all.

Then i realized by unchecking enable audio enhancements, it disables dolby V2. I checked and it was working again but the audio sounded really, really bad.

No matter what i do i cant seem to find a fix for it. Then i realized that the audio enhancements options in playback device options is no longer there for me to change. I cant seem to find any audio enhancement options at all. I am not sure why this is, but there isn’t any way to change enhancements settings. Has anyone else had this issue or is it just me?

User’s post on August 5, I swear I saw the ‘Enable Audio Enhancements’ feature when I first looked at my sounds, but it vanished!!! This is driving me crazy!! I need high quality audio! Please re-read the issue at hand. That would be nice if troubleshooter worked. Trouble shooter never recognizes the HDMI interface.

The sound comes and goes, usually after it comes back from a sleep or restart. Certain events have to align properly for it to work. When does work the sound is distorted. Nothing wrong with the speakers because they sound just fine when I am watching TV. I thought Microsoft identified and intermittent problem with the OS stack.
