Problem with audio devices

Hi Marcello,

I appreciate you for trying some steps in order to get the issue resolved.

If you're connecting to an audio device using USB or HDMI, you might need to set that device as the default.

Open Start, enter Sound, select it from the list of results, and then, on the
Playback tab, select a device, then Set Default.

I would also suggest you to turn off Audio enhancements.

• 
  Go to Start, enter Sound, and select Sound Control Panel
  from the list of results.
  
• 
  On the Playback tab, right-click (or tap and hold) the
  Default Device and select Properties.
  
• 
  On the Enhancements tab, select the Disable all enhancements
  check box and try to play your audio device.
  
• 
  If that doesn't work, select Cancel and, on the Playback
  tab, select another default device (if you have one), select the Disable all enhancements check box, and try to play audio again. Do this for each default device.
  

Please revert if you face any issues with Audio.

Thank you.

 

Spatial sound is not available on this device!

Hello,

This could be related to not having the updated driver for your sound card device. I recommend that you perform the steps provided below:

1. Open Start, enter Device Manager, and select it from the list of results.
2. Under Sound, video and game controllers, select your sound card, open it, select the Driver tab.
3. Select Update Driver. If Windows doesn't find a new driver, look for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

If that didn't work, try this:

1. Uninstall your audio driver: open Device Manager, right-click (or press and hold) the audio driver, and select Uninstall.
2. Restart your device and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

And if that didn't work, try using the generic audio driver that comes with Windows. Here's how:

1. Open Device Manager, right-click (or press and hold) your audio driver > Update driver software... > Browse
   my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
2. Select High Definition Audio Device.
3. Select Next.
4. Follow the instructions to install it.

If the suggestions above didn't work, feel free to post back so we can further troubleshoot.
