Knowing how to check your audio driver is an important part of troubleshooting any audio issues you may be experiencing on your computer. An audio driver is a software program that allows your computer to communicate with your sound card, which is the hardware component that produces sound. If your audio driver is not working properly, you may experience problems such as no sound, distorted sound, or crackling noises.
There are a few different ways to check your audio driver. One way is to open the Device Manager. To do this, press the Windows key + X and then click on “Device Manager”. In the Device Manager, expand the “Sound, video, and game controllers” section. You should see your audio driver listed here. If there is a yellow exclamation mark next to the driver, this means that there is a problem with the driver.
