Microsoft looking into high-pitched audio bug on recent update for Windows 10

Microsoft releases important security and bug fixes as part of its Patch Tuesday (the second or fourth Tuesday of every month) and this month’s update was no exception. Unfortunately, bugs are also discovered on a regular basis after the update is installed by more users, and now Microsoft has acknowledged a new audio bug on Windows 10.

The KB5000842 update for Windows 10 devices which was released on March 29, introduced a new bug related to the playback of multi-channel audio, under certain settings. Users who have connected their devices to a 5.1 channel audio system might hear a high pitched noise after installing the latest update, as spotted by Bleeping Computer.
