Hello,

I unfortunately uninstalled the "DTS Sound, Inc." driver on my Toshiba (now Dynabook) Satellite L12-C-104 under Windows 10. Shortly afterwards, I restart a music file and then I notice background/white noise when I launch the file and while it is playing. This buzzing stops a few seconds after closing the file and at the end of the playback.

I knew this was the problem because before I uninstalled it, I had never experienced this problem before. I should mention that I was listening to the music with headphones. I tried to listen to the same file using another device with the same headphones: the buzzing doesn't occur. I then watched an online video on my PC: the hum is still there.

I then tried to find a way to recover the lost file, except that I had downloaded something in the meantime. I was starting to worry that the file would be overwritten by the new data and be lost forever. So I opted for System Restore from a previous day's recovery point. So I let my computer restore the system overnight.

When I wake up, I turn on my PC; it was in hibernation. After typing my code, an error message says that the recovery was not successful or not complete. I quickly open the tool to uninstall programs, and the driver is back! I then launch my favourite music to test it. Silence is still as noisy as ever...

I restart my research and I finally find the driver on the Dynabook website. I install the pilot, test it, and there is still this white noise. I reboot my computer, I test again, they are still there.

I update all my drivers: they are all already updated. I used "troubleshooting": no problems detected.

I don't see where the problem can come from. If you have a solution, I will be happy.

Thank you very much.
