Windows 10: Help! System sounds are quieter.

Hello. Today I noticed that the system sounds have become quieter. I am underHello. Today I noticed that the system sounds have become quieter. I connected a mouse and heard a faint sound. Sound seems to be muffled now. But I didn't change any sound settings. I have the latest audio driver and all windows updates installed. Restore system files commands did not help. I am using an acer nitro 5 laptop.

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

  Type Troubleshooting in the Search area on the taskbar and select

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.
