Win11 upgraded to 24h2, the sound quality has improved

Do you feel the same as me?

Microsoft rewrote some of the core Windows platform’s kernel code in the Rust programming language, which should make the OS faster and less prone to memory bugs. This isn't a minor change, and it’s been four years in the making.

Interesting, could be. Are you using the internal dac/amp or an external one?

In any case, the improvement in system response speed will produce a series of changes, which will be felt in any kind of decoding. Whether it is a direct difference compared to the server system or the small volume simplified system is not certain because there is no comparison.

You can improve the system response speed with some tweaks...

“Any kind of decoding”, are you even including audio decoding like MP3 or FLAC? MP3 was created in the late 1980’s to decode perfectly happily on single core i386 20MHz processors and obviously it’s ridiculously trivial for any modern processors which run at GigaHertz speeds and are thousands of times more powerful. There’s obviously not going to be any sort of noticeable difference.

That’s a forum for DAW and recording studio amateurs/professionals, where users will usually be running dozens or even 100+ audio channels, along with various soft-synths and dozens of other audio processing plugins within DAW software and where latency can be an issue when recording. For those just reproducing recordings and decoding stereo or even multi-channel MP3s or FLACs, it’s irrelevant.

24H2 is a great upgrade but I think it's a massive stretch to say that it would have any positive or negative impact on audio quality.

I don't know if my audio nerd side should be more amazed than my gamer side those are impressive FPS boosts from just an OS service pack. Once 24H2 rolls out to me I'll check both of these features out for sure. Thanks for the info.

This is a complete fallacy. None of the articles about this are right
