Microsoft admits Windows 11 24H2 PCs with Dirac audio cannot play sound
 
(excerpt)
After a disastrous October and November, Windows 11 24H2 is back with new compatibility problems. Windows Latest has already covered the new version’s problem with Ubisoft games, apps, and other services. PCs with Dirac Audio join this long list of reported Windows 11 issues.
Like most of the previous issues, this Direc Audio problem stems from the cridspapo.dll file, which is incompatible with 24H2. As a result, the PC cannot identify any audio device, be it the inbuilt speakers, external Bluetooth audio devices and more. It is a sound optimisation technology to improve the audio output, but the drivers don’t work with the latest version update.
 
According to Microsoft, the manufacturer will release a patch to fix this audio issue. Meanwhile, the PCs with the update cannot use audio, a core feature of a computer. The obvious option is to roll back the update or do a clean install of Windows 11 23H2, on which the drivers work fine.
