ok so set the power plan to Balanced or High Performance and check that teh CPU isnt stuck at aggressive power saving... very deep C states can cause audio dropouts on some systems.

help!! told my boss it would take 10 minutes 🤦 its been my entire lunch break any ideas??

lol same thing happened to me in Sound settings More sound settings your device Properties Advanced, try a different sample rate like 48000 Hz, and disable audio enhancements.

bump, still happening with headphones for me... pro tip: write down what u change... i didnt and had to redo dpc latency from scratch worked for me anyway 🤷

Running ur own nameservers is a learning project, not a reliability upgrade. Unless you have multiple servers in different networks, you're adding a single point of faiulre. Secondary DNS from a provider can soften that, but it's still…

If the redistributable is already installed, open Settings Apps Installed apps , find Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 2022 Redistributable, choose Modify and then Repair . Do it for both x64 and x86.

lol same thing happened to me make a backup before u touch the driver, learned that teh hard way xD reading this at 2am instead of sleeping, no regrets

🤔

some vendor audio suites have their own jack detection or device toggle that overrides Windows. open teh vendor's console app (if installed) and check whether teh mic input is disabled or reassigned there.

driver updates do sometimes include security fixes, so i wouldnt stay on a very old version forever. but watiing a week or two after release to see if a hotfix appears is perfectly reasonable. lmk how it goes
