Hi everyone. I have been doing forum searches and reading articles etc and can't figure out what's going on here. If anybody has any tips, please let me know! Thanks.
I recently sold my two older macs and bought a new 2018 MacBook pro with ssd, six core processor, and 16 gigs of ram. I do some things on the mac side and some on the windows side. I had been using windows ten on my old iMac. I upgraded from my windows seven install on that machine and did not have the issues I am about to lay out here... I ended up buying a windows ten license and doing a clean install, setting up everything from scratch. I downloaded the latest version of bootcamp the day I did the windows ten install. With any sort of audio playback whether it be audio files through a media player, screen reader output, audio streaming from a web site, or good old system sounds, I can hear a noise gate even at low volumes. This results in the first syllable of every word being cut off with jaws or NVDA for example when navigating around or typing etc. Also, everything is squashed. The amount of compression is un freaking bearable! The odd thing is that with my old machine running windows ten via the upgrade, I had no issues with audio playback. It was fine. This... This is just a mess. I don't know what group of people came to the conclusion that these features/settings were good for anything under any circumstances. I have music I am very familiar with and I use a nice set of Marintse headphones. I know what they sound like normally and they do not sound like this. I am aware of the windows ten audio enhancement features that are turned on by default. I've read all about that and know how to turn it off. However, when I look in the properties dialogue box, I do not have a tab called enhancements for the on board headphones or speakers. According to everything I've read, this is where I need to be to turn this garbage off but it's simply not here. I can't seem to find a way to disable them via the command prompt or the registry either. I do have a tab called spacial sound but even if it's off, it makes no difference. The audio on my mac OS partition is fine an I do not have these issues with my focusrite saffire pro 40. This leads me to believe that it may be a driver issue with this version of bootcamp... If the drivers are the culprit however, why can I not find a single reference to this missing tab? And yes, I did uninstall the Apple headphones and speaker drivers. I thought that when windows ten restarts, it may grab a generic driver and that would solve the issue. No luck though! When I went back into sound and then device manager, both were back! Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Cameron. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
