Windows volume sliders move but no change in volume

I have a Dell Inspiron laptop running windows 10. If I change the windows volume sliders either for the application or the system,then No change in volume occurs , except for the mute when I go to zero volume. If I use the in application volume control for Netflix and spottify then I can control the volume. So can anyone suggest anything. In particular I want the dell laptop function keys for volume to work so if there is a way to get the dell laptop keys to control the settings of the application that may be ok.
I have updated every driver and bios update both from windows update and dell

 

Changing volume using Windows 10 volume slider vs changing volume in media player

What are the differences in the quality of sound output when the volume is changed in the following environments:

• Windows 10 volume slider in bottom-right corner
  
• Media program such as VLC player when playing a music file
  
• Media program such as Spotify when streaming music
  

Is there any difference between the 3, e.g., would turning down the volume using Windows 10 volume slider be any different from turning down the volume using the VLC inbuilt volume slider?

 

Link Multiple Volume Sliders





so, to clarify... the VoiceMeeter app shows (highlighted in pink) the 2 Dell speakers and (highlighted in red) the 1 output to control both in unison. The volume sliders on allow me to control all 3 (each speaker and the voicemeeter) from the old volume tasktray flyout. what i would like to do is link the 3 on the flyout so that i can move one and turn the volume up or down for all (as this will control it for all pc sounds and apps... is this possible via a reg hack or anything of the sort? or does anyone know of a program to control multiple audio output devices simultaneously?
