Windows 10: Headset usb controller volume not synced with pc audio level

The audio volume that is coming from my headset isnt the same as what my computer says it is. It is able to go lower that 0%, which makes it so if i start raising the volume, i dont start hearing anything until maybe 50% and then it doesnt get to full volume unless i hold it down past 100%.

USB headset volume control not working

Hi,

I installed windows 10 and have a problem with my USB headset. I googled the problem and found no solutions.

The headset works fine but i can´t control the volume, the volume bar appears but does not work i can put the settings at 0 or 100% and the audio is always loud. I use speakers too and they work fine volume and all. I set the headset as active and as the
default comunication but the audio bar just does nothing.

A few days ago a got some alternative drivers from Cmedia for windows 8 and they solved the problem, unfortunately i deleted them and cant find the website where i got them.

USB headset is a Genius HS-04U

Appreciate if anyone could help.

Sorry for the english, not my native language.

Thanks in advance.

 

Build 1909 not remembering volume levels in the Volume Mixer

I recently updated from 1803 to 1909 and I've noticed that the Volume Mixer does not store volume levels for any apps and instead just resets them to 100% if they are restarted.

This was not an issue I experienced with 1803, I've already tried seeing if it was just an issue with my user profile/registry by testing on a newly created user profile, as well as attempting to fix it by adding a missing registry key as suggested in this reddit post.

I've also tried simpler steps such as reinstalling my audio drivers and using a headset with a USB soundcard (HyperX Cloud II's) but these were also unhelpful.

Any help would be appreciated *Smile

Actually, ignore this - I created the registry key mentioned in the reddit post above under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER, creating the keys in the correct location and restarting my PC fixed the issue.

For anyone else with the same issue just follow the steps in the reddit post given in the OP, i.e. create the following registry key(s) manually:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\LowRegistry\Audio\PolicyConfig\PropertyStore
