Windows 10: Issue with sound being quieter on laptop?

I had an issue earlier on today where the sound was much quieter on my laptop. 100% volume felt like when it used to be set at 50%.I was going to re-install the sound driver but I went into the sound settings on my laptop and just played around a little and now the sound is back to normal. I restarted the laptop and the sound is still good.Do I need to do anything else? I'm unsure what caused the issue.I have a Senary audio driver 10.0.26100.1 installed.I note on the support page for my laptop, this driver is available: Senary Audio Driver for Windows 11 64-bit - IdeaPad Slim 5 14, IdeaPad S

Help! System sounds are quieter.

Hello. 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. Also, the same system sound sounds different in different places. Could it be after a windows update? I don't know what to do, help!

 

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
