Windows 10: For weeks since last update, my sound is much quieter

Hello.. I searched every where for weeks but I need to ask directly now, what happened to my volume levels? It will show that I selected max volume, but only achieve 1/3 of it, like it is forcing the volume to be lower. The only thing that works is if I turn on OR off windows sonic, then it will work for 5 minutes, and revert to original low volume. WTF happened?

tl;dr similar to how phones will brute force lower volume, my windows 10 lowers volume, but it will appear as if I have volume set to 100%, even though it wont reach that unless I turn on or off windows sonic idk wtf is going on.

Thanks for helping btw

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

 

Sound is too low for windows 10

Try these steps:

• 
  Open the Sound menu (as shown in your second screenshot).
  
• 
  Right-click on your speakers (or the audio output you want to amplify), and select Properties.
  
• 
  Go to the Enhancements tab.
  
• 
  Check the Loudness Equalization option.
  

This makes quiet sounds louder, loud sounds quieter.
