I "upgraded"  from 7 to 10. All was fine regarding BF 1942-except- my headphones no longer work. The volume stays ultra low. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the Realtek drivers and all the other fixes suggested on the Microsoft users  forum. Nothing works.

Firmware update maybe

Realtek drivers can be tricky, It's also worth a shot to let a utility like 'driver booster' from the ASC suite look for updates.  I've rolled back realtek drivers or installed custom more then once.

Horace... Also try right clicking on your speaker icon near the date/time... choose playback devices... What options are available in the window that opens... one should be speakers and it should have a green check mark...

If it does have a green check mark. Double click it... what tabs do you have across the top... ​"General" "Custom" ... what others are there...

I'd be more worried about Windows10 recording everything you ever do on your own computer and storing it in Microsoft's servers.

 

The NSA does the same thing across all O/S if it chooses, only difference is you can't opt out of that one.

 

Here's the very tip of the iceberg, there's a lot of info online if you're curious.

Most people fail to see the forest for the trees.  They get hung up on the minutiae and fail to see the big picture.  What's changed is the fundamental relationship between the User that Microsoft. That's their Operating System and not yours, you have a limited licence to use, that's their computer, not yours.  It's a dumb terminal that they can do whatever they want with, and that's their data and not yours and they can do anything they want with that data.

 

You can turn telemetry off, and they can turn it back on.  You can hack the registry and they can restore it to the way they want it.  You can install cracked software and they can sell the service of scrubbing your computer of "pirate" software to the companies you are stealing from, as well as report you to law enforcement.  You have no rights.

 

Facebook has a similar ToS with regard to User's Content (i.e. your family photos, and maybe those dirty ones you hide in a special folder), and FB was using it's User's "private" data in local advertisements, such as your child's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's being used to advertise Chuck E. Cheese's.  You give MS rights when you store what used to be your data on what used to be your computer, when it is running their (and not your) Operating System.
