Windows 10: Headphones not lowering volume Windows 10

Hi,


As of recent I am unable to control the volume of headphones I plug in- they remain at 100% volume no matter where I put the slider. I've tried updating the audio driver, reinstalling the audio driver, disabling audio enhancements, and nothing is working. The external laptop speakers still are able to be controlled fine, it's just headphones that are the issue. Anyone know how to fix this?

My left headphone randomly lowers it's volume.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forums.

• What is the make and model of the headphone?
  

This could be due to the change in Balance levels of the playback device. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Right click the sound icon on the taskbar and choose
  Sounds.
  
• Select your headphone, and click on Properties.
  
• Click on Balance under Levels
  tab, adjust Left and Right to the same levels.
  
• Save the changes and check if the issue persists.

Hope it helps.

Lower headphone sound, Windows 10

That wouldn't solve the issue of headphones over headsets, but even with my Logitech headset this didn't help. Troubleshooting found no issue.

I've loved Windows, and have no idea why I'm just having this issues with headphones and headsets. It's loud for a second then something lowers the volume and I have no idea whats causing it. :/

Thanks for the suggestion Abdul, even though I'm having the same problem.

 

The right headphone randomly lowers the volume

This issue showed up suddenly while I was listening to the music.

I tested it using a stereo tester audiocheck.net and it got better.

But unfortunately just for a while, then the volume of the right headphone got lower again
