    How do I reduce the volume Windows thinks is 100%


    Hi,


    I've recently upgraded my sound system and I'm having issues with the volume being far too loud. My previous audio setup was using the auxiliary port on an old stereo that gave me another level of volume control. I only ever had it at 30% on the stereo and 12% through Windows. I'm now using proper monitor speakers that have no individual sound control so even 3% volume through Windows is too loud. Is there a way to reduce the max volume, not so that it won't allow me to go above 3% but rather have it so what Windows considers 100% be the volume 3% is now. I prefer to have granular control over my sound and I don't like my audio loud. I'm currently on version 1903 if that matters at all. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    :)

    Windows 10 - Sound Volume Rests to 100%

    I may need to relay a bit more info here. This issue pertains to DELL WYSE ThinClients running for HYPER-V. Client OS is WIN 10 PRO 64 bit. The Volume thing has arisen since a new Firmware was released by DELL to address the WIN 10 - 1903 Update. The Firmware
    has caused the Volume to default to 100%. I went thru your list, and Thank You very much, but many of the settings listed do not exist in the ThinClient WINDOWS Control Panel for Sound. I was hoping to across a REGISTRY entry that may help reduce startup Volume
    to 20 or 25%

    N73 4.0747.31.0.1 volume reduced?

    Has anybody else noticed that the volume has been reduced on the music player using the original headphones/mic after applying Version 4.0747.31.0.1?

    The volume on the right earpiece seems to have dropped more than the left. (It's not my hearing or the balance settings, before somebody asks; I've tried them back-to-front too.)

    Also does anybody know where the list of fixes / enhancements is for this upgrade?

    The official list doesn't include this version...

    Thanks, Godders.

    How do I reduce the volume Windows thinks is 100%

    Volume control at 100, can't mute or reduce sound

    The volume buttons (louder, softer, mute) on laptop sound do not work. The headphone volume is set to 100, and when I click on the slider to lower volume, the slider automatically slides back up to 100. The black and green volume control box is constantly
    displayed in upper left of screen -- again, set to 100. When I click on slider to lower volume, the slider automatically slides back up to 100.

    I just did a SFC /scannow to address a dropdown menu issue, and so the system has been verified.

    Please advise a fix. Thanks.
