Audio crackling from other sources (like spotify) when playing games on AN515-58-700B
Tinkerer
When I play games and have music in the background whether its on Spotify or YouTube, the audio of the music crackles. This is also starting to happen when I am on a discord call with my friends, their voices start to crackle while I'm playing games. Does anyone know why and does anyone know a solution? Thanks.

Audio enhancements can improve your listening experience but most of times cause audio problems and improvement is not that big. So, Better keep it off and save cpu power

The audio does seem quiet compared to what it was, is that a disadvantage of disabling enhancements?

There may be bit quality loss. Nothing more.. It's better to keep it off since it doesn't make big difference. You can alwaYs on and off this option.
Don't overthink. Like I said if it cause problems then it's useless
