I upgraded my Inspiron 3847 to Win 10. I usually use headphones to listen to music, but I also have a pair of *** Dell speakers. I noticed the sound got drastically worse after upgrading to Win 10 but never really investigated. I now have discovered that the MaxxAudio 4 equalizer is gone.
I've been researching this problem but haven't found a reasonable solution. Everything I have found indicates I not only need to uninstall and then reinstall the Realtek High-Definition Audio Driver, but also the Realtek card reader - which makes absolutely no sense. I'm afraid to mess around with the driver for the card reader and screw up my USB/SD card ports.
I have downloaded Dell System Detect software and had it scan my system for driver updates. It updated my chipset drivers but did nothing about my audio driver or the card reader.
Any help/advice for my specific system would be gratefully appreciated.
