XPS 15 9520, latest Realtek drivers are terrible

Hello I was wondering when there will be an improved Realtek sound driver for Dell XPS 9520?

The latest driver creates distortion (6.0.9369.1, A01).

I also have an XPS 15 9510 with the latest audio drivers (6.0.9261.1, A08) and that one sounds far amazing.

I managed to get the same sound on XPS 15 9520 but with an XPS 15 9510 driver older version (6.0.9172.1, A01) but some things weren't linked properly.

Is there any way to tell the developers for the next Realtek software to somehow port the (6.0.9261.1, A08) to the latest for XPS 15 9520?

I know that audio can improve with newer drivers just wondering if its possible?

thanks

Dell has recently posted a 6.0.9430.1 A25 Realtek audio driver for the XPS 15 9520 on November 24.
not sure if this new one will solve those problems you're having

I found it's hilarious as it seems others are having opposite experience with the driver as in this forum post.

If the new driver doesn't help, you may want to check the Waves settings to see if the audio enhancement distribute to the problem.

apparently Dell released 2 new Realtek audio driver versions in the past several months in 2023 for the XPS 9520 laptop.

6.0.9509.1 A72

6.0.9472.1 A46

The 9509 version fixes some sound issues when using MS Teams, WebEx and Zoom apps.
