Windows Central Question

Anniversary update broke my sound. It was fine before.

Now for example when I try to watch a youtube video, the sound is all fuzzy and crackly.

How do I fix this?

Anniversary update might have installed the Window's generic High Definition Audio Driver, which could result in such problems with the speaker. I would recommend you to download driverpack solution and check for driver updates , the application will ask you to install the drivers from the actual manufacturer and not from mirosoft. Install the drivers and reboot.
