Loud Audio Until Volume is Adjusted (Realtek Audio Driver)

Hi Michael,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience caused. I will be glad to assist you with this.

Thank you for mentioning the steps you have tried to resolve the issue. We appreciate your effort.

To better assist you, do let us know the make and model of the computer.

I would suggest you to try using the generic audio driver that comes with Windows.

Here's how: in Device Manager, right-click (or tap and hold) your audio driver >
Update driver software... > Browse my computer for driver software
> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, select
High Definition Audio Device, select Next, and follow the instructions to install it.

Also, try turning off the audio enhancement by following the steps below:

• 
  Go to Start, enter Sound, and select Sound Control Panel
  from the list of results.
  
• 
  On the Playback tab, right-click (or tap and hold) the Default Device
  and select Properties.
  
• 
  On the Enhancements tab, select the Disable all enhancements
  check box and try to play your audio device.
  
• 
  If that doesn't work, select Cancel and, on the Playback
  tab, select another default device (if you have one), select the Disable all enhancements check box, and try to play audio again. Do this for each default device.
  

Let us know the result.
