audio

Hi I've got a stubborn audio issue which I cant resolve... My dedicated desktop mic stopped working one day while on discord, I tried reseating the 3.5mm jack but it didn't work at all. I decided to buy a new mic and it kept giving me static noise which led me to reinstall audio drivers that did...

I recently bought a new AT2040 microphone and upon hooking it up it is super quiet and I have to have everything turned up to max to get the volume to just below average volume level. I have the volume in windows turned up to max(100), I have it plugged in through a Behringer UM2 with the gain...

1. What is your budget? -- Around 1000 dollars. Preferably on the budget side. 2. What is the size of the notebook and screen resolution that you are considering? -- Doesn't matter 4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop? -- Doesn't matter, Build quality could be good so that...

I just finished building a new PC and I'm experiencing a strange audio issue. From the moment I turn on the system (before boot, as soon as I press the power button) the front AUX port outputs a high-pitched ringing noise. It isn't affected by Windows volume settings and expected audio is...

So, here's the problem: I've been using "M-Audio M-Track Solo" audio interface alongside "Behringer XM8500" microphone, all connected to my PC with Windows 10 installed on it (version 22H2, if that's important), and recently, seemingly at random, my PC just stops receiving any audio from my...

Hi, This is a problem that has been happening that past year or so. When I want to share my screen, usually in Discord, but I have also tried using Messenger or Zoom, my computer kind of freezes and disconnects the headset and my keyboard usually. In games it can happen out of the blue with no...

Hi. I have a question regarding audio and motherboard. I have an issue where the sound in my headphones does a crackling sound every 30mins or so and I have tried everything from changing headphones to even reinstalling my windows a couple of times in case it was a driver issue and nothing seem...

As said, whenever I'm talking through discord, game chat or even OBS my Blue Yeti microphone has this noise gate filter added on to it and severely lowers the sound quality. HOWEVER, only on Fl Studio does my mic sound perfectly crystal clear. I've updated my drivers for both Realtek and Blue...

Hi folks, I need some advice. I'm currently using my Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones attached via Bluetooth to my PC but I know I'm not getting the best sound quality from them as it states I'm only getting DVD-quality audio in Windows. I recently purchased some SteelSeries Arctic Nova Pro Wireless...

I just got a new MSI laptop (Stealth 16) with Win 11, and have since day 1 experienced frequent popping in my external speakers. My previous mac had no such popping, using the same speakers. The popping seems to occur only when no or low audio is playing. For example if I have no audio playing...

I've recently been gifted a hand me down soundbar, the Bose SoundTouch 300. I've been trying to connect it to my PC via optical cable, but it hasn't worked at all. Windows doesnt seem to detect it. When the cord is plugged in to the mobo i'm seeing light coming out of the cord. I've been able to...

So, at some point in the future, my AM4 will be replaced, and this got me thinking, is it not time we removed the audio sockets from motherboards and cases. They have served their purpose from the infancy of audio on PC's but surely, we should now move on to something better, now this may be USB...

hello everyone, I just built a new gaming pc and everything is great except for the annoying sound from the speakers. the sound card is fine, as are the speakers, cables, I tried to change and combine everything and the problem did not stop. I tried replacing the entire motherboard today and...

Hello all, When I am trying to watch Netflix on my projector with my laptop the audio will not work unless I reset my audio settings and I will have to continue to do so after each individual episode. When trying my roommates laptop it works just fine. In the reliability history SECOCL.exe is...

My PC has been having audio problems for 2-3 months. It started off as the speakers sometimes not outputting audio unless I max out the volume using a chrome extension. Even then, I just got some weird robotic audio. It would fix itself eventually so I just ignored it. Then just a week ago, it...

Hello! One side of my laptop (my right but the laptops left from inside on the motherboard) isn't producing any sound. I've tried uninstalling my realtek driver then reinstalling but nothing has worked. When I test it in settings they both sound the same but on youtube and any game I play...

Hello everyone, I recently upgraded my PC setup, moving from a mini ITX system to a larger one due to the size of my new graphics card. Along with a new case, I also decided to switch to a different motherboard. I chose to utilize a spare motherboard I had lying around, the ASROCK B550 Pro 4...

Hello, I'm trying to get audio from my monitor to my PC. My idea is to get my consoles audio from my monitor and send it to my PC. The way I do it is I plug 3,5mm cable in my monitor 3,5mm port for headphones, and I plug the other end in my pc microphone jack. This way I get audio from my...

Motherboard went out on my wife's XPS 13 9350 laptop. I board a direct fit replacement, but the new board had an i7 processor instead of the original i5. It was listed as direct swap, and it was indeed otherwise a direct swap. After the swap, I had to update to uefi and raid in the bios in...

The audio on my computer beeps, rings, and compresses before cutting out, and will cut back in randomly. In addition, my USB microphone worked for a day but no longer works. I know that it is picking up sound because of its configuration, but Discord and in-game chats do not pick up any signal...

I first noticed this problem when I got Discord, as whenever I was in a vc, the audio from my computer would become muffled until I left the vc, when it would then return to normal. I've tried updating some drivers, and following some guides, but the effect is still there. At first I didn't...

I just built a new PC with the following specs. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mPjyZJ At first everything seemed fine, but for the past two or three days I've noticed when I'm playing a game (anything from Bloons TD6 to Baldur's Gate 3) and I have a browser video playing, or I'm in a discord...

Hi all, I've recently upgraded my PC involving a replacement of the motherboard, RAM, Processor and addition of a Samsung 990Pro Nvme. My headset all worked fine via the Xbox Elite Controller for about a week after building the new setup but then one day no one could hear me. Windows can see...

On a fairly regular basis, I get this error when attempting to play a YouTube video without the video beginning play in a prompt manner. The videos occasionally do begin to play, but not after at least a 2 to 3 minute wait but usually not at all. And to make this even more puzzling, if they do...

I own a Sound Blaster X3 and bought a new set of Logitech Z906 5.1 speakers to replace my blown Logitech Z607's during the post-Christmas sales. I want to use analog speakers for gaming and movies that use codecs other than Dolby Digital (Sound Blaster X3 only supports Dolby Digital Live for...

Hi all, i'm looking for an HDMI cable that would cover all my bases/uses. so would any 4k 18Gbps cable do it? there are so many options its confusing. I'm also looking for one that is thin and flexible. any recommendations? would one of these do the trick? what's the difference, other than the...

Audio crackles briefly every few seconds in music or in game, frequency seems to vary a bit depending on the output and audio settings. Windows system sounds also crackle, and more so than other audio sources, basically continuously while they play. The system on which the issue occurs...

Hope this is the right place to post this, wasn't sure between this and computer peripherals. My QC45s work completely fine on bluetooth and on a wired connection to other devices, but on my Windows 11 PC they are behaving very strangley with a wired connection (the PC doesn't have bluetooth)...

So the other day I bought an LG 27GP850-B, I installed it and everything looked great. Then I tried hearing something from its speakers and NOTHING. I literally clicked and did everything imaginable, heck I even did everything LG support told me to do and still nothing. The thing that keeps...

Went to bed last night audio all fine on my PC woke up today none at all. I use a TV (plugged into my GPU via HDMI) as a monitor and the device is recognised and is said to be using sound but none is produced. Also it produces sound if I use the SMART Tv features. I so far have swapped ports...

Hello all, Up until Sunday, 11/12, my mic (AT2020) in OBS has been working fine, even with the filters I have set on it. I use a compressor filter at default settings for balanced audio, a limiter filter to keep it from peaking, and a noise gate filter which I have to use for I live in a small...

I started watching youtube and i realised that the audio is like 30% louder than before and the audio quality dropped slightly. Then i got into a discord call and realised that all my friends are really...

I did a fresh install of Windows 10 because I wanted to format my SSD and HDD. Whenever I set my headset as the audio output now, audio and video suddenly turn slow motion. The computer itself continues to work normally, just the sound gets obnoxiously slow and choppy. If I'm playing a video on...
