Help pls: Bad audio

[Residays]

Out of the sudden yesterday my audio started to sound weird, some notes in songs are missing and some sound different.

The thing is, it seems to happen to both my speakers and my headphones.

Idk if it's irrelevant or not but the Intel Management Engine Interface is failing with the error code 10, Intel Active Management Technology fails with the error code 43.

I looked it up and they say I should update my drivers but they're up to date, I'm lost.

You've probably tried this, but restart your computer. If that doesn't work, try rewinding. If that doesn't work, try full reinstall.

Uhh I doubt I have to go to such extent.

That's up to you. If restarting/rewinding doesn't work it might be a hardware issue. Often, it saves time just restarting/rewinding, rather than looking through google for someone with the exact same issue for 10 hours.

If it's both your headphones and speakers, then it'll be your audio drivers, it's likely not a hardware issue. Try reinstalling the sound drivers and see if that helps.

Updating/reinstalling drivers never helped me in any case of pc problems. The main problem when you're facing a specific problem is that there's so many possibilities. Rewinding can usually save you a lot of headache if you're not going to use your computer anyway.
