Windows 10: laptop freezes when volume is on max

hi everyone! im new here and desperate! i have this laptop that i've been using for quite some time now and is really dependable given the situation. it screeches and freezes when the volume is cranked to max when gaming or watching a movie. when freezing sometimes, i leave it alone and after quite sometime it would revive itself but lately it doesnt work anymore, a hard restart would be required. but when volume not at max, you could watch a movie or play games until the sun sets without any issues. please help me! thanks!

acer nitro v17 black edition 2015

Windows 10 maxes out volume sometimes

I got the same problem and installing new software is not helping. I got Asus T100HA notebook. My sound devices listed in the device manager are: Intel SST Audio Device (WDM) and Realtek I2S Audio Codec. As mentioned above, when watching youtube or a movie
on VLC, after hiting pause and play again, the volume is maxed out which is kinda unpleasent for ears especially when I am using headphones. Then /i quickly have to move volume buttons on the notebook to lower the volume. What is weird is that while usually
one click is 2% volume, it is always one click after this auto volume maxing to move the volmy back to my desired level like 12. So that may suggest that according to the volume indicator it is not maxed out and touching the buttons refreshs the setting. Either
way it is extremly annoying. Maybe we should sue somebody for hearing damage?

 

Airpods Volume Always at Max

The volume of my airpods on my dell laptop is always maxed out to 100 no matter where I adjust it. I can only mute the sound otherwise it will always play at max volume. I found a thread from last year that offered solutions to this issue but neither worked
for me. I have tried unchecking the "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" box in the settings and the option to roll back the driver is unavailable. The driver is updated and I've disconnected/removed the airpods and reconnected it
several times. Nothing seems to work. Are there any other solutions?

 

Best laptop under $800??

Well the last one I suggested seems to be the best for 650$
