Windows 10: Audio Is Quiet At 100%

Recently I turned on my pc to play some games on it, When i got into the game I realized that the sound was different from the last time I played. The sounds were extremely loud, I thought it was just the game, but when I closed out of the game and went onto my browser to watch youtube, I realized that my youtube was very quiet, even at max volume. Ive tried installing updates, uninstalling updates, updating drivers, changing settings. I've been able to fix it a few times, but it always just goes back to the broken audio, has anyone else had this problem before?

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!

Earphone volume too loud or too quiet on Windows 10

Hi I'm having a weird problem on my laptop running Windows 10 Pro. The earphone volume is either too loud or too quiet, and seems to switch between these two upon every restart. When it's too loud, keeping it at 1/100 is equivalent to 20-30/100 when sound was normal, when it's too quiet, keeping it at 100/100 is equivalent to 10-20/100 when sound was normal. Already googled extensively and tried pretty much every suggestion I found with no results:

• Enable/disable loudness equalization in playback device settings
• Enable/disable Windows Sonic for headphones in playback device settings
• Check for errors in sound devices in device manager - no errors
• Update sound drivers - all updated
• Try different earphones - tried like 4 already, definitely not an issue with earphones
• Even tried system restore, still not fixed

Does anyone know what else to try?
