- From what to what did you upgrade?
- Where did you get the drivers for the new OS from?
- What other versions did you try?
- Do the native Windows drivers work correctly (those are different from the more powerful version you downloaded, most likely).
When I installed Windows 10 on my MSI motherboard, sound worked immediately, but the driver I downloaded later from the MSI site had more options.
The common work around in such cases: a simple and cheap USB sound'card'. Be sure it comes with drivers for your new OS.
So I upgraded my PC yesterday. Everything seemed to work fine after the drivers were installed, except for the audio. At first the aduio quality was extremely bad, and then I got it working somehow but the volume was extremely low. Now when i try to fix it, it shifts between bad quality and no sound at all. My motherboard installed the Realtek HD Audio Drivers and I think that's the problem. I've tried reinstalling them multiple times with different versions but it's the same every time. I've also tried with other headphones and it's the same problem. I really don't know what to do.
My new PC specs:
Motherboard: ASUS Z170-A
CPU: Intel Core i5 6600K Skylake
8GB of DDR4 Ram
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 SSC 2GB
