This post shows students and new users the steps to enable or disable Enhanced Audio when using Windows 11 to enhance the audio experience from their computer’s speakers.

This Windows 11 feature brings quality audio to laptops and computers that enables users to experience the experience normally associated with home theater stereo sound systems.
