Reseated ram (4 sticks) - Sound issues

Spurgt_Fuglen

Hello there;

 

I upgraded my CPU cooler today, and now i got space for all 4 ram sticks. 

I reinstalled windows, but i have some sound issues.

 

I can talk with people on discord, but i cant watch videos or play games with sound.

If i try to watch video, while being on discord it wont play any sound. If i leave youtube, discord sound will come back.

 

Also, if i try to play any audio while being on discord, their voices will be distorted.

 

Things i have tried;

using 2 ram sticks as i did before the cooler swap.

reinstalled windows.

checked all drivers and bios update.

 

I can play games without any problem. 

MB detect all 4 ram sticks @3200MHz.

 

specs:

Gigabyte b550m

ryzen 5600x

32gb g.skill 3200 MHz

Gigabyte 1080ti

 

Any help is much appreciated.. :-)

What are you using for your audio output and input?  Your rear panel motherboard audio I/O or your case front panel audio I/O?  If it's the latter, it's possible you unseated the front panel audio connector somehow, so I'd try reseating that first.  If using one or the other, trying switching from the front panel to the rear panel audio, and vice versa.  Are you using a USB audio device of some sort?  Do you have anything connected to the line-in jack on the motherboard's rear panel?

Other question, do you do any music production at all? This sounds like an ASIO driver gone wild to me but if you don't do any music production it's likely a software issue and I'd suggest doing a complete wipe of audio drivers and reinstall them.

An easy possible fix is going into your audio control panel, finding the proper audio output, setting that as default device, and hitting apply and restart the pc for good measure.
