Windows 10: Audio behind me is very quiet

This isn't a problem relating to surround sound, I don't want or have surround sound.In any 3D program, if an object is behind the camera, it's really quiet, but if it's in front of the camera, its volume is normal. This problem only started after I downgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

Windows Audio Too Quiet

This problem started a few months ago. All of a sudden, my audio got really quiet, even on the loudest settings (Windows at 100% and speaker knob turned all the way to the right). I have searched countless websites for a solution, but nothing worked. At
first, I could fix it by uninstalling my audio driver and restarting, but now even that doesn't work.

I have tried:

• Running the troubleshooter
• Reinstalling Realtek audio driver
• Updating the driver
• Using old versions of Realtek
• Using the default windows high definition audio driver
• Turning on the equalizer enhancement
• Turning my volume all the way up
• Switching to a different output (Headphones)
• Turning on Spatial Sound
• Disabling communication noise reduction
• Updating Windows
• Reinstalling all drivers the motherboard recommends

My specs:

• AMD Ryzen 3 2200G - CPU
• 16 GB - RAM
• B450I GAMING PLUS AC - MOBO
• AMD Radeon RX 570 - GPU

I am also using Windows 10 Pro version 19041.172

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

Windows 10 Action Center Stuck in Quiet Hours


Hi, I find this interesting (in a warped, twisted sort of way *Wink)
Set Quiet Hours in Windows 10 - Windows Help -


Set Quiet Hours in Windows 10

Applies to Windows 10
Quiet Hours are times of day when you don't want to be disturbed by notifications. How to set them up:

• 1. Click the Action Center icon on the taskbar.
• 2. Click Quiet hours.
  3. Set your Quiet Hours.

The last (3) seems to suggest there is a setting - but as you - and others- have observed it seems to be just an on/off button now.

E.g.
Windows 10: No scheduled Quiet Hours? - Windows Central Forums
I've not seen Quiet hours on, so can't comment on your other query, sorry.
