Question Sound Enhancements Keep Being Disabled

[blatherscribe]

Greetings,

I'm having a weird problem. It seems every time I restart my computer, quit a game, or just walk away for a while, Windows 10 decides I want all sound enhancements disabled. I do not, I want the loudness equalization enabled, because otherwise every sound in a game is muffled and inaudible. Has anyone else encountered this? And how might I fix it? No matter how often I uncheck the "disable all enhancements" box, the check mark comes back as soon as I'm not looking.

What is the make and model of your sound card? Is it a Realtek solution bundled with your motherboard? Make and model of your motherboard? BIOS version for your motherboard? What version(not edition) of Windows 10 are you on?

Might want to see if uninstalling your audio drivers, then manually reinstalling it in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator. A precursor to this step would be to make sure you're on the latest BIOS version, then your OS is on the latest version.

It's an ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E, BIOS version 1802, Realtek onboard sound, just the Windows-supplied drivers because when I tried to install the Realtek stuff it was a mess.

I've been messing around a bit, and it seems that somehow the game Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is changing this setting. I've never encountered anything like it before. It's just turning off a Windows setting every time it starts! Would you happen to know a way to stop this? To wall off Windows settings so no games can change them?
