2024-07-18T08:20:12+00:00 Hello, welcome to the Microsoft community.
Thank you for your feedback. Based on your description, it seems like you are having an issue with the audio output on your desktop.
I noticed you mentioned the Problem Status: 0xC00000E5 error, can you confirm if the audio device is still working properly now? If not, you may need to try downloading an older version of the driver from the device's official website to see if that helps to get your device working again.
Also, I see you mentioned distortion when using the front ports on the desktop, do you experience the same issue with the audio ports at the back?
Looking forward to your reply.
