Latest Microsoft Patch Breaks Windows 10 Audio

PostTue Sep 24, 2019 7:22 am

There are various reports of audio either missing from games or being drastically reduced. Windows Latest notes that one way to fix these problems is to reduce Windows Audio to 16-bit DVD quality. This can be done by clicking on the ‘Sound’ icon in Control Panel, clicking on your Speaker/Headphone solution to change its properties, navigating to the ‘Advanced’ tab, and selecting the 16-bit 48000 Hz (DVD Quality) option. :roll:

If none of that works, you can always uninstall the update. :cry:

Standard in Hauptwerk ASIO drivers are used and not the standard Windows audio drivers.
So this audio issue is out of scope for Hauptwerk users.

Another problem with this patch is that in some PC's in some situations the Startmenu stops working.
