Microphone Strongly Distorted Except From Realtek Playback?
Aug 5, 2015
Basically when I try to record my voice all I hear is very strongly distorted sound, no speech is recognizable. I tried updating drivers, all mic settings I can think of but with no success.
When I open the Realtek manager and click the icon for playback on my mic settings the audio is crystal clear, and if possible I would like to have this instead of what is actually outputted. I dont know how to set that working
I clicked to "Listen to this device" and all I hear is VERY distorted sound, no speech is recognizable.
So from what I understand the mic is perfectly fine, the drivers should be fine but the quality that is outputted is terrible. Is there anyway to output what I hear from the playback on realtek? [URL] ....

Recently I purchased a Logitech h151 headset which has only one single jack, as my ASUS laptop has only one jack used for a headset. However, upon connecting the headset, although the sound plays through it perfectly and without issue, the microphone doesn't seem to work.
I've tried multiple solutions - I went to the Realtek Audio Manager to try and find advanced options, as I read that a possible fix to this is to go there and select an option to separate all input jacks. However, I cannot seem to find advanced options anywhere. I have also entered the Sound section in the control panel, and under the microphone section my external microphone was not detected, even after showing all disabled devices.
As for the Realtek Audio Manager issue, I read of several solutions to make advanced options pop up - from updating the driver to completely uninstalling it and such. As you can probably understand, I would rather not result to such things as messing with the drivers, as I am not a tech-savvy person and will not be able to claw out of a technical hole should I get into one.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, the internal mic is being used and can be detected (of course).

I use an ACER ASPIRE 4736Z laptop running on windows 10 32 bit OS. I have tried many versions of realtek and updated all my audio drivers but still i don't get the option studio quality for the microphone settings in realtek audio manager. Instead i get only CD and DVD quality options. This doesn't work as I always get a hiss when I record using my microphone. I have adjusted the microphone settings in the control panel as well. Need getting the studio quality option for the microphone in realtek audio manager. Find the attached image

Few days ago I did the windows 10 upgrade, but ever since the upgrade the sound is very distorted. I have a Sony Vaio with a realtek sound card. The drivers i have installed are the 6.0.1.7564. I tried other driver versions, I tried to switch the enhancement off, but how to resolve the problem.

I'm not sure what the best way to describe this is but when I have videos open for playback the colors on the entire display get messed up, even if the program with the video is minimized. Green or purple tinting, heavy banding, etc. And the moment I close the video it all goes back to normal. This happens in any browser (such as on YouTube), using HPC-HC player, or in my Roxio editor. At first I thought I messed up my codecs so (after messing around for a while trying to fix it) I used the Win10 "Reset" to essentially reinstall, but obviously here I am.
I tried to take a screen shot to post here, but it came out normal. So I would think the video has to be being processed correctly, but something is being lost on the way to the display. The only oddity in my setup I can think of is that I am presently using a TV as my display instead of a monitor. But I'm not sure how that could create this effect.

The pop up information when hovering over an icon and in some files is unreadable in Win 10. See screen images.

All audio coming from my notebook is heavily distorted, no matter the volume. I went to my Realtek drivers and checked for updates, but nothing.

I have a new HP Envy M7 laptop running Windows 10. I have an odd problem where all the stock windows sounds are distorted as if they are being unnecessarily amplified. All other sounds, such as videos, music, movies, etc, are all completely fine. I've tried looking through the windows sounds area, looking at the device properties, and also at the 2 different volume control areas with no luck.
When i say 2 different olume control areas, i mean the volume control icon in the taskbar tray, and also the "Bang & Olufsen" sound control icon in the taskbar tray. Bang & Olufsen apparently provides the audio products for this machine? Anyway, i can see anyplace where the windows sounds are being amplified.
My devices are:
Realtek High Definition audio
nVidia Virtual Audio Device
Intel(R) Display Audio
i have all drivers up-to-date.

the only real problem I am having sense upgrading to win10 (from win7 home) is the first time I open a video in IE 11 or Edge the audio is fine but the video is a green blur. If I close it and reopen the video all is good.

Having recently updated to Windows 10, I am astonished (annoyed) to discover Windows 10 does not play WMV video files, particularly those created using Windows Movie Maker. There doesn't seem to be very much advice on this on the net and the following is short list of the tried and failed suggestions:
•Turning on/off WMP through Control Panel>Programs>Programs & Features>Turn Windows Feature On or Off.
•Repeating the above then restarting my laptop twice, after which running sfc/scannow at the Command Prompt.
•Disabling / enabling "Turn on DirectX Video Acceleration for WMV files" in WMP Options.
•Troubleshooting Fix via Control Panel>All Control Panel Items>Troubleshooting>All Categories>Windows Media Player Settings - this just returns the message "Configuration settings might be set incorrectly" - but doesn't expand on what settings are wrong.
I also came across this "FIX: Updade to enable DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) of Windows Media Video content in Windows Media 10" at [URL] ....
However after downloading the 'fix' (Download the WindowsMedia10-KB888656-x86-Global-ENU.exe package now.) it doesn't install - instead I get the error message "Not enough storage is available to process this command."

I have an MXL 990 microphone (xlr), and a Line 6 Studio UX2. When I plugin my mic, I see in the pod farm software that I am getting signal, and enough volume. However, my system doesn't pickup any sound at all. I have set the correct device as a recording device, and it still doesn't work.
The Audio interface picks it up, but nothing else on my pc does. Skype, teamspeak, etc.Also, it worked fine before I got windows 10.

I was trying to mess around with a few things in the sound settings so that I could get audio to play through my headphones. While doing this, I disabled my speakers that were plugged in. Now, I want my speakers to return being the main sound playback device.

I have recently bought a new motherboard (ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming) and a new CPU (i5-6600K). After I formatted the system to start fresh, I installed a minimum of drivers before upgrading from Windows 7 to 10. Now, the problem is that EVERY time I playback any kind of sound (music, youtube, or just the speaker tests in Windows), a brief crackling or scratching noise is heard although the audio quality afterwards is fine. When playback stops, the same crackling or scratching sound comes once again. If I open youtube and keep a video open in a tab, the crackling/scratching noise never comes. If I close the browser with the youtube video open, the noise comes.
So far I've tried this:
- disable all sound effects (under enhancement in speaker properties)
- change the default format to the lowest (16 bit, 44100 Hz)
- uninstall and reinstall the Realtek High Definition Audio driver
- tried different headphones, earplugs, speakers
- tried different audio ports (front and rear)
I'm currently not sure whether the problem is caused by Windows 10 or the motherboard, although I have not tested it in Windows 7.

I can chose what sound device to use in a game and can switch between them. Head set or five way surround sound - room speakers. But I don't seem to be able to get anyplace on a consistent basis in edge. Right now I can't get anything to play. First time I opened it played over my speakers. Some time later suddenly it would only play over my head set. The other day I had success opening Realtek audio manager. I actually got sound coming out of my speakers.
Now I cannot repeat it. I have never consciously changed anything to do with the setting for sound. In fact I can't find one in edge.
Opening up system I can find no way to set a default play back device... I'm lost. Some how I now have it playing out of my speakers again. But a gremlin did it.

I'm on a Sony Vaio Pro 13 running Windows 10 64bit. Ever since upgrading to Windows 10 I've been experiencing strange horizontal distortion on the right half of the screen while viewing videos through any internet browser. The issue seems to be confined to YouTube ads (actual videos themselves are fine), news websites, and other websites whose video encoding is presumably similar. I've attached a fairly shoddy image I took with my phone to demonstrate the issue.
I have upgraded and tried reinstalling any driver that I thought was feasibly connected to video playback to no avail.

So, Alienware sent me a replacement M18 last week with better specs than my old one. I had this issue on the old one, but chalked it up to the other problems it had. This laptop has been in my hands since last Friday. The issue is, video play back of any kind, any browser and any app causes the entire system to hang. It forces me to do a hard reset every time. Everything else works perfectly. Absolutely no issues with any video game. I thought it was maybe gfx related but nVidia said it wasn't and get with Alienware.
Before I went to them, I thought I would try microsoft support techs... After remotely connecting they suggested a fresh install of the os. So now my pc has a completely fresh install of the os and still has the problem. The issue happened before and still remains after updating all drivers. I just finished talking to alienware support. They connected remotely, checked all the drivers, ran several diagnostic tools and said everything looked perfect. The tech suggested the cpu is spiking in temp and they would send someone to replace the heat sink.
But the monitoring software he used shows the temps to be around 68C to 75C even when I recreate the issue and it hangs the last reading is normal. So I don't think their solution is correct. I'm attaching the Sysnative BSOD Dump + System File Collection App and Administrative Events. In this info, I recreated the issue at 10:50am according to the computers clock. It just doesn't make sense that a brand new computer would have this problem, especially when everything else works just fine.

For whatever reason ever since I switched to windows 10. Opening my playback device literally takes 2-5 minutes to open. Even if it was just opened. If I go to re open it seconds later. It takes another 2-5 minutes.This is also running off of an SSD. When I was on windows 7 it opened instantly the second I clicked "Playback Devices" always. So why would windows 10 be any different? I use the playback device menu a lot since I switch between different audio devices constantly all the time.

I have a M4A87TD EVO motherboard and use windows 10. Everytime nvidia puts out a new driver for my GTX 960 graphics card it seems to conflict with my motherboard VIA driver. I never had problems with windows 7. I'm not the only one having problems with this. My computer defaults to my hdmi monitor speakers, I have to keep changing it to my plug in speakers and doesn't cross over automatically to head phones when I plug them in. my headphones constantly disappears from my playback devices so I constantly have to delete the drivers and reinstalling them.

I got me a new microphone and like most all microphones for PC there is no on and off switch, so on that note how can i mute and unmute it quick without having to click several things to get to the mute stuff. It saves also having to unplug and plug it in every time which would eventually we're usb ports out.
