Audio Problem With Updates KB3176495,KB3176934,KB3176938

After Windows Updates: KB3176495,KB3176934,KB3176938 My audio has been weird. I uninstalled All Sound devices and restarted. The sound problem persists and after listening to various things since the reboot I have more specifically identified the problem as audio sometimes or slowing down randomly. one Extreme instance of this also involved the Cursor lagging significantly for the duration of the audio slowdown. I have also noticed the Icons on the Windows taskbar at the bottom of the screen disappearing and reappearing fairly frequently. Does anyone know whats happening?

I'm facing the same problem and During the jorney to solve it I restored my computer 3 times.

I contact dells support and together we tried to:

  • Update the driver
  • Reinstall the driver
  • Uninstall the driver to using windows suggest drivers.
  • Remove the drivers to use the microsoft drivers.
  • Run sfc
  • Run Dell Assist Tools
  • Run Driver updates tools
  • Uninstalled the Windows updates.

None fixed the problem. 

And the issue is not on the sound card, since when I restore the system it works.

I'd like to know what would be the next steps.
Is Microsft  release a patch for the update that is breaking the audio?

We've got a Dell Inspiron 7359 "2 in 1" and there is no audio output (headphones or internal speakers) after these updates. Any plans for an update to fix this? Also, let me say how utterly arrogant & idiotic a choice Microsoft made in not allowing users to choose to check for and downloads updates if and when _we_ want to. Now, we also cannot disable Cortana. Removing user choice seems to be the new direction for your Windows developers.

habe ein ähnliches Problem und zwar wird mir seit dem im Info Center bei jedem Neustart von Windows angezeizeigt: Dolby Digital Plus wurde Deinstalliert da es mit dieser Windows Version nicht mehr kompatibel ist.

Dieses erscheint wie gesagt bei jeden Windows Neustart und das Beste daran ist, dass Dolby Digital wurde gar nicht Deinstalliert und Funzt Wunderbar, wie bekomme ich jetzt die Meldung im Info Center dauerhaft weck,  vor allem wenn es unter Benachrichtigungen nicht Angezeigt wird um es dort Einzustellen, hoffe das hier jemand Rat Weiß!
