Windows 10 is a complex operating system with complex issues.
In this article, we’ll be taking a look at how you can fix them, no matter what caused the error. Anything from faulty hardware to a system issue can cause audio problems.
"Realtek High-Definition Audio" or "Intel HD Audio Device") and then what options they have offered.There are many instances when your headphones or headphone jack isn’t working in Windows 10. On the Enhancements tab, see if such a setting there exists: what you will see depends on whether the device is using the generic "High-Definition Audio" driver, or a specific one (e.g. You could also try right-clicking the speaker icon, and choosing "Sounds", then click the Playback tab and double-click on your default audio-device. In there you can set a volume-level on a per-app basis, and these volumes are then proportional to the system volume. Then right-click the speaker icon, near the date/time, and choose "Open volume mixer". First make-sure the app you want to adjust is on-screen and is playing audio. No, Windows doesn't have this - but you could suggest it on the Feedback Hub app.Īs a suggestion though, you can adjust the volume of each app individually. What you're asking for essentially is a "volume normaliser", where all sound louder-than your threshold gets reduced to it, and all quieter audio is made-louder so there is no difference in volume between anything. Creative recommends that a PS4 be hooked up with USB now though, but probably because games now default to discrete unencoded surround audio instead of being pre-encoded for Dolby AC-3, plus there's less focus on disc-based movie playback, and streamed movies have, ahem, issues with AC-3 over S/PDIF sounding "burpy" *cough* Netflix *cough*. I've tested this with DVD's from a computer with USB because I noticed the same thing happening with certain older games on a PS4 and PS3 (which I don't have anymore) that were Dolby Digital certified, but you couldn't hear the surround sound over USB. They'll accept discrete surround sound from a decoded audio source, but if you're streaming surround sound off of something encoded, you have to use Optical S/PDIF to get it to accept it, otherwise it just treats it as stereo. Note: Something I've noticed is that the speakers do not seem to receive Dolby Digital AC-3 through USB. Contact Creative for updated drivers, or else use a different connection type like optical. The USB audio connection doesn't adjust any kind of sound output volume on the PS4 so it sounds like a driver issue. I have the same speakers hooked up to a PS4.
