XPS 13 9350 coil whine/speaker sounds after driver update

Speakers/keyboard area are making a beepy/coil whine sound now after I updated my audio driver via Dell Update. Frustrating, annoying. I just want it back to how it was.

I had the problem like you wouldn't believe after the Win 10 anniversary update loaded in some Microsoft provided driver. The latest Dell driver hasn't been a problem for me, but you might want to hit the Realtek support site for the generic driver. I used that after the anniversary update and before the latest Dell driver and it solved the problem for me entirely.

similar to mine, but mine still does it, all the time and is horribly loud. Dell says it is normal, but i can hear it over the speakers at 100% or in a lound room. They say they are working on a driver update to significantly remove coil whine and replacement motherboards, both ready for mid november.
