Windows 10: Audio Balance Reset when volume lowered to zero

I've seen this question asked a couple times in 2016 and 2019 without any real answers to the question. When setting the audio balance through Speaker Properties -> Levels -> Balance and adjusting volume to zero the balance gets reset. This does not seem to be a device specific issue pc or audio device, I've tried on multiple but rather an implementation issue on Microsoft's part. Is there any word if this is planned on being fixed or is this intended behavior? This seems to be an accessibility issue for people with partial hearing loss. I have slight hearing loss in my right ear and i

Volume controls doing weird stuff with balance

In Windows 10, my volume control is doing weird stuff, it changes the balance, and I really only have two intensities, 0 and 100.

When I start to lower the volume from 100 it starts to go all the balance to the right speaker but the same intensity, only lowers when I got to zero, which is mute. so from 1 to 100 its the same volume, the only thing that change are the balance.

My PCI audio card is a Sabrent SBT-SP6C

 

Audio volume keeps forcing to zero.

Tried your suggestion. Troubleshooter tells to increase volume in mixer, which I did. Volume quickly goes back to zero, as before. Troubleshooter says :unable to fix all of the issues found.

Problems found:

Low audio volume Not fixed

Audio device muted Not fixed

 

Audio Balance Bug - Balance changes when changing volume

Hello forum,

So I have a weird bug that I cannot find anything on the internet for. Like the title says, when changing the volume (either with the keyboard or mouse), the left-right channels change with it. It's really odd, and it's happened in the past, but I don't
know how I fixed it.

Essentially, I cannot get the volume to change without changing the balance. When I turn it up, the balance is almost centered, but it's obviously loud. The lower I turn it, the more Left the balance goes. For some reason, Windows doesn't allow me to lock the
balance, so changes no matter what I do.

I'm running Windows 10, with a ASUS Xonar DG audio card. Any pointers would help greatly.
