Windows 10 lags sound after update
Hello everyone, please help me figure out such a dilemmacame yesterday on the 23rd, the three updates after which the sound began to dull in the games
it was the voices as if from a bucket and the husky
version of Windows 10 20H1 build 19043.1288
and here's the three that arrived> update for Win (KB5005539)
security update (KB5006670) and Servicing Stack 10.0.19041.1220
in the services of some fig there was a sound card driver service (Sound Blaster Z) although I did not install anything
Try to remove the sound card device through the Device Manager, without removing the drivers, reboot, and detect the device again.
If it does not help, reinstall the drivers on the sound card by downloading the latest version from the Creative website.
Well, if you have to reinstall the drivers, and suddenly after installing them, the message "The device needs further installation" appears in the pop-up menu on the right, you should not click on it and it is better to just close it. Otherwise, the standard driver may be installed and sound problems will be found again.
Creative does not support drivers for old products, windows automatically installs its own drivers. My creative x-fi xtreme audio already refuses to play sound after dozens of updates. Prior to this, there was a decrease and distortion of sound. Sometimes turning off the PC several times helped, but not for long.
