Option 3 – Try disabling the Sound or Audio enhancements
To make your operating system’s specific hardware sound nothing but perfect, both Microsoft and third party vendors have shipped audio enhancement packages which are usually referred to as “Audio Enhancements” in Windows 10.

Simply follow the steps below.

  • Type in “Sound” in the taskbar search and then from the list of results, select “Sound Control Panel”.

  • After clicking Sound, the Sound properties box will pop up. From there, go to the Playback tab and right click on the default device i.e. Speakers or Headphones then select Properties.

  • After that, the Speakers properties box will appear. From there, go to the Enhancements tab and select the checkbox for “Disable all enhancements” option.
