I am having the issue of low sound quality in my Airpods Pro when I open up a steam game, for example Black Ops 6. When I open it it seems to just be really low quality and/or muffled, I've tried to fix it by editing and looking for all the sound properties in-game and in windows, and nothing seems to work. I do not have speakers in my actual computer, thats why I use headphones all the time. Any suggestions or help?View the full article

As of now, I'm relying on wireless earbuds connected via Bluetooth to get audio. I became aware that when the PC tries to use the microphone and speakers on audio devices connected via Bluetooth, the quality would drop substantially. Disabling the microphone permissions for the device solved this and has allowed me to enjoy full quality audio up until when I join an Xbox Party using the Xbox App and Game Bar. I've even disabled the driver for the microphone in Device Manager and it is still acting as if it's trying to use my microphone, thus continuing to result in low quality audio.

I could do anything using Win 10. When I HAD TO CHANGE to Win 11, was like having to learn a foreign language. All the things I used to do are zilch now. I used XP before 10--no problem in adjustment. Win 11 must have been designed for/by experts (which I am neither) because the average User gets nowhere without difficulty. I've absolutely hated 11 since it started. I work on my PC every day & general correspondence is the ONLY thing that works & I sometimes have problems with that. I'm not exactly PC illiterate, but 11 is a challenge. Why did the process change from 10 to 11?View the full article

Hello, my computer is having various issues from apps, like google and steam games, just randomly crashing out of nowhere alongside random Bluescreens. I have looked everywhere from BIOS to Event viewer to Lenovo Vantage. I don't believe it is a hardware issue as everything I've used doesn't tell me it's a hardware issue and I have reinstalled and updated my drivers. Windows is also updated. I am also sending the minidump folder it creates when it bluescreens.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/134dJwgkoBnI6IhurB0xPVUDCqtjgsRcX?usp=drive_linkView the full article

My Lenovo Legion 5 laptop keeps crashing every few days, no bluescreen, just freezes and I have to restart. Then I get an event 41 kernel-power error. I also keep getting every few minutes an event 1001 "bluescreen"/"clock_watchdog_timeout" error but there's no bluescreen; this is constant and happens every few minutes or hours every day, and happens right after booting. In safe mode this does NOT happen though, so I dont think its a hardware issueAbout the crashing, I have ran DISM, sfc, checked the disc and RAM, did stress tests on CPU and GPU but everything seemed just fine.
