  • Open an elevated command prompt and type pnputil -e
  • Locate your Realtek audio driver it will probably look like this

Check whether there is a soundeffect active:
Right click on the Speaker icon on the taskbar > Select 2nd option Playback devices > Right click the device you are using and select properties > Select 4th tab Effects
And uncheck all effects

I am on a non English version of windows you will see diffrent names from what I used in my answer, sorry for that

Is it a Realtek High Definition Audio device?

Try under 'Advanced' something like 'Back to standard settings'

And if you have no sound effects, they can't be causing it.
I am out of options, anybody else?

Where would I download the driver from? Would it be from the MSI website for me?
