audio

Hi, my issue is that whatever audio playing from my laptop can at anytime become really bad and distorted for seemingly no reason. Straight from startup -> edge -> youtube and audio fails, even though no other apps are in use. Sometimes it does not fail, but usually does. I have checked drivers...

I am looking to get a new Windows PC for DIY home music recording and I am wondering what the good, the bad, and the ugly of RealTek chipsets are. In my research thus far, I have found everything from ALC269 to ALC1200 or 1220 in prebuilts by the likes of Dell, HP, and Geekom. Some chipsets...

Hi! Maybe someone can help me. I recently bought HyperX Cloud III Wireless. The sound is totally fine in YouTube and when listening to music, but in games like Rust and CS2 it's just terrible — like I'm inside a barrel. Sometimes it's too quiet, then suddenly way too loud. Just overall very bad...

Hi, My mi-box can output 5.1 surround sound through optical SPDIF output and my Soundblaster AE-9 has optical-in port. I am able to use it as 2.0 source without problems, but when using 5.1 the sound is compressed, and this card does not have SPDIF decoding. Is there any software available on...

For no explainable reason, my audio only comes from the left side. This morning it was fine. At first, I thought it was my headphones (I am very clumsy and do drop them often), but I tried another set of headphones I had lying around and it had the same issue. I know it isn't the port that is...

Hello. I have a pretty weird issue going on with my headphones on my PC. Seemingly out of nowhere, my DT 770 250Ohm headphones I have had for about 3 years suddenly got this problem where the right ear-cup audio suddenly lowered itself until it was muted. It stays like that, and sometimes comes...

Hey! This is a bit of a doozy, I wanna go into detail here so it might be a little long, thanks for sticking with me! A couple days ago my microphone stopped working, I thought it wasn't that odd, since it was a cheap little thing from Amazon, it was a little microphone that was attached to the...

I bought a new mic, but...
