Stobhill Hospital Day Surgery, but luckily they changed their minds and wanted an emergency endoscope into the stomach, which I'm still waiting for 13 months later. God bless them NHS people. As your clearly not keen on supporting the NHS and your not happy with the service go private. That's the only option in alot of countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted October 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2017 PC technical help needed: For no apparant reason, sound coming out of my headphones plugged into my PC is all distorted. Doesn't matter where the sound is playing from - videos from VLC, Netflix, YouTube - the issue remains. I had a look online but the fix I found (turn off all sound effects) didn't help. Has anybody had this issue with W10? Know how to fix it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallicks Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 When you say distorted, do you mean like it's been turned up too loud, or digital distortion like garbling/compression artifacts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted October 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2017 The latter. It's very vexing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallicks Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I've not used windows 10 very much, but presuming there's some kind of audio device control, are you able to switch output device to something else and then switch back to the default? If it's a PC, presumably there's 2 headphone jacks, front and back. Have you tried both? It's the green one usually, I'm sure you know that. How about updating the driver?

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted October 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2017 I don't have any other audio devices to do that with. No speakers. Switching the headphone into the jack in the back didn't help either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted October 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2017 Dick head point but, plug your headphones in to your phone, see what happens. Really sorry for stating it and being that guy, it's just you haven't mentioned it defo not being the headphones. Something similar happened on my work PC.. it was the headphones. The connector on the jack randomly fucked.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted October 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2017 Ah, no. It's not the headphones. I've tried two standard jack headphones and one USB headphone/headset - same deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted October 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2017 Try properties, enhancements, disable enhancements (or disable sound effects). It should in theory disable any additional sound effects. There are some apparent glitches with sound effects in W-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted October 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2017 Yeah, I did try that. That plus disable sound effects seemed to be the most common fix when I did some research. But it doesn't seem to work for me. Weird how when my girlfriend was using it the other week, this same thing happened. She woke me up late at night to ask me to come fix it but I said I'd do it in the morning. Come morning, it had fixed itself. To be honest, I need to take the whole thing apart and rebuild it. Lots of niggling little issues with it lately.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted October 20, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2017 Aaaand, it's fixed itself again. I think I may know what's causing it. The time my girlfriend complained that it was happening, I'd done the same thing. I was using Tails, booting from a USB. When I was done with Tails, I restarted from Tails back into Windows. When I was getting the sound problems today, I restarted a few times but it didn't help. I just shut it down and left it for 15 minutes, turned it on and the sound works. So, I think it's something to do with restarted from Tails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
