Windows 10: Audio gone after inceasing volume

I was on YouTube, the video shown had low volume, so I increased this in Win 11 Volume Mixer.This was the moment, sound totally died on me.An old, repeatedly mentioned through the Win Feedback System error, that still, seems, is not fixed.Upon looking where the issue was, I bumped into thisicture of Audio Settings, note the missing ALLOW option.Seriously, so many, many issues with Windows, and no viable alternative.A company as big as this should at least be able to fix these kind of issues, one would assume.How now do I fix this issue?It is not:- Cable or other physical issue:Realtek Manage

Low Audio Volume when listening songs

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate the efforts taken by you in resolving this issue. Thank you for providing the detailed information. I understand that you get low audio level while playing songs.



Ideally, the level of audio depends on the type of the audio file that you are playing. However, I would suggest you to try using the Audio Enhancements, which will boost the audio level and help you get a better audio experience. Refer the steps mentioned
below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + R, to open
   Run dialog box.
   
2. Type mmsys.cpl and click on
   OK.
   
3. Under Playback tab, double click on the sound device that you are using.
   
4. Click on Enhancements tab.
   
5. Select the checkbox for Loudness Equalization.
   
6. Click on OK.
   

If the issue persists, you may want to try updating the Audio drivers and check. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Sound, Video, and Game Controllers.
   
3. Right click on the Audio
   device and select Update Driver.

You may also want to check the Audio levels for specific applications in the Volume Mixer. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Right click on the Sound icon on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Select Open Volume Mixer.
   
3. Now, adjust the Volume levels for the Applications as per your requirement.
