You haven’t noticed any issues in the event viewer, and everything appears normal. Have you verified your connections to the motherboard? It’s possible the IO Panel connector was disconnected or damaged. If you remove all USB devices except your headset, does the system behave differently? Consider checking available software updates or troubleshooting steps.
It seems the audio detection feature was modified in Windows 11. In macOS, this issue appears in certain situations too. A clean installation might resolve it, though finding fixes without more details is challenging.
It's unclear what just occurred; I'm unsure of the exact actions taken, but there are two kinds of audio devices—Game and Voice. The Game is now stable, though the Voice keeps toggling rapidly. I'm certain this isn't the final outcome, so I'll attempt a clean install to find out more.
Excellent news! The fresh install was a success and everything is functioning properly now. I’ve started downloading all drivers and applying updates. My headset is working perfectly. Previously, a driver in W10 was conflicting with the W11 sound driver. I’m looking forward to wrapping up these updates today and giving it a try. Thanks! 😊
The verified cause was the Realtek driver on my motherboard. After uninstalling it, everything functioned perfectly again. This will be noted as a solution for others to follow. Thanks!
