    I use speakers to listen to lectures at 100% volume and when I insert headphones the volume stays at 100% blasting my ears. Is there an option to have different volumes for different audio modes

  2. Volumes in my laptop speaker and headphones are at different levels

    The sound volume in my laptop speaker and headphones are at different levels. For example if I have a
    speaker volume at 20%, then I plug in the headphones, it could be something like 70%. When I disconnect the headphones, the speaker volume gets back to 20%

  3. How to Keep Headphone/Speaker Volume at Different Settings

    Hey,

    So basically, my laptop, a Dell G5 15, used to have the speaker volume at a different volume level than the headphones. For example, if I had the speaker volume at 0%, and then plugged in my headphones, it would be at 50%, and when I disconnect it, the laptop
    speakers would remain at 0%, not 50%, and the headphones would remain at 50%. I want to keep my laptop like this, but now, even if I try to keep both settings at different volumes, both would be at the same volume %. How can I fix this? Thanks!

    To assist you better, please answer the below:

    1. Are you changing the volume on headphone or from the sound icon in the taskbar of the system?

    I suggest you to run Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.

    • Select Troubleshooting.
    • Select View all on the top left corner.
    • Click Hardware and Devices.

    Also try to download and install the latest chipset and Sound drivers from the manufacturer website and install the same.
