Windows machines usually come with either Microsoft’s own audio enhancements or include audio software from third-party vendors. You can think of sound enhancements as audio filtering software designed to soften and smooth out audio files for an easier listening experience.

That’s why we strongly recommend disabling sound enhancements if you are using a Windows device to program Edison. Unfortunately, these sound enhancements cause problems when using Edison, often making your program fail when you try to download it to Edison. Microsoft includes these enhancements in basically every computing device they ship out. Sound enhancements, sometimes called ‘audio enhancements’ are audio enhancement software packages designed to improve how your computer’s specific hardware sounds.
