    Cannot Play Audio over 50% Volume or With High Bass

    Realtek Audio: Bass Increases as Volume Decreases

    I have two ways to change the volume of an application on my Windows laptop:

    • Change system volume (Native OS controls)
    • Change application volume (YouTube video)

    When I change my system volume, the bass stays the same. However, when I lower an application's volume, the bass becomes louder.

    Here are two audio files of the same song demonstrating the difference:


    Difference shown visually with spectrograms from Audacity:

    Cannot Play Audio over 50% Volume or With High Bass 3mtIP.png

    Top: lowered application volume with bass-y sound. Bottom: normal volume

    About four months ago, this was not a problem. The equalization of any sound played would stay the same no matter the volume. Mid-video, an automatic Windows driver update occurred and the difference was quite pronounced.

    Does anybody know how I can fix this issue? Is this intentional? I do quite a bit of sound sensitive work and it makes listening to older projects difficult because the mastering sounds all wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

    Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 (Realtek) - No bass/sub-woofer

    • Speaker Setup plays all speakers fine
    • Applications do not play any bass through subwoofer (or really, at all)
    • Custom built PC using Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 motherboard onboard audio.
    • Windows 10 fresh install
    • Tried latest driver from Gigabyte, Realtek, and Microsoft
    • Windows "default" driver does play bass through sub-woofer, but audio stutters and is quiet.

    Not sure what else is relevant to mention; I've tried following various posts with suggestions to fix this, with no success. I've been at this for quite a few hours and am very frustrated.

    Please let me know if you have any questions, or suggestions on how to resolve

    Cannot Play Audio over 50% Volume or With High Bass

    No sound while playing audio and video files.

    Hi,

    I appreciate if you could answer to a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

    • Which is the application that you are using to play the files?
    • Did you try the same on a different player?
    • Did you perform any troubleshooting steps?
    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to check if the volume is set low or in mute state in Volume Mixer.

    • Right click on sound icon.
    • Open Volume Mixer check for the application that you are playing the files with and increase the volume and check.
    If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to run “Playing audio” troubleshooter to diagnose and fix the issue.

    Follow these Steps to run Playing Audio Troubleshooter in Windows 10.

    1. Type troubleshooting in the search bar.

    2. Select Troubleshooting.

    3. Select View all on the top left corner.

    4. Click on Playing audio.

    Also refer: Fix sound or audio problems in Windows - Microsoft Support

    Hope the information helps in resolving the issue related to the sound issue. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Thank you.
