This is just to ensure you don’t have any duplicate drivers. Once that’s done, at the top of the device manager window, click “view” and scroll down to “show hidden devices” and click it. Then, just follow the directions on screen until the device is uninstalled. Make sure you have the box “Delete the driver software for this device” selected and click OK. Once you do, go ahead and right click it and select “Uninstall device”. Once you’re there, scroll down to “Sound, video and game controllers” and find “Realtek High Definition Audio”. To do this, go to the Device Manager by either right clicking the start button or typing “device manager” into the start menu. Once you see that the repairs added new devices for you, then you can turn off enhancement for headphones if required.įor some reason, my computer thought it only had a speaker so when i connected my earbuds, they played louder everytime i pressed pause so I had to adjust it everytime i paused.This might seem counterintuitive, but before you go looking to reinstall the Realtek HD Audio Codec driver, you’re going to have to uninstall all traces of your existing audio drivers. There should be a "speakers", "headphones" and "digital audio" device available for connection after a while. If the headphones device is not showing up, keep updating like i said above (the find and fix audio playback method above) until it upgrades you to more devices. Those are only for your speakers! you need a headphones device settings, however, windows 10 didnt add the device for some reason. If under the playback tab there is only a "speakers" device to modify settings, those setting will not help you with the pause and play problem. click on sound under the control panel section. To reach this setting, type in the search bar "sound". You know you have succeeded when it updates you to have a speaker, earphone, and HDMI Digital audio on your computers sound settings. This should work! if it doesnt, go through the process again. Then test out to see if the sound changes everytime you press pause. Everytime it updates your sound drivers, apply the changes and close the box. Say it doesnt sound right and to look for another driver malfunction. It will lead you to a testing window where it gives you noises and you say if it sounds fine or not. Troubleshoot and keep hitting next until your music plays better. If a window opens that only troubleshoots as a speaker, there is your problem. Click "next" to troubleshoot the problem. Then click on it when it pops up under the settings category. Basically, go to the search bar and type in "Find and fix audio playback problems". I only really noticed the loudness when I connected ear phones. I am running on windows 10 and this fixed the solution. Whether I was listening to itunes, youtube, or netflix, everytime I press pause for a second, whenever I pressed play once again it got at least twice as load. I have a Dell and it did this with all my applications.
