After I updated the audio an hour ago, the audio was very poor afterwards, it was quieter and the sound wasnt as clear as before.
Tried many solutions on the internet, but its not applicable in my case for my laptop.
I did tried reinstalling the audio driver(Realtek High-Definition (HD) audio-driver (Windows 10 v1803)) , this had no effect however.
Any suggestions what to do?
