Windows 10: Laptop plays extremely quietly despite being at 100% volume

Any video or sound played on my laptop is very quiet, even with the volume all the way up. Sometimes it will go in and out of loud and quiet, where the sound will actually be at 100% for about 10 seconds, then waver back down to 15%.

:)

 

Audio plays at 100% no matter what volume it is at.

I have windows 10 on a LENOVO laptop, and no matter what volume it is, between 1% - 100%, it plays maximum volume sound, despite the slider not necessarily being on 100%. If I set it to 0% it plays no sound.

This problem does not always happen. Each time I restart the PC the volume plays normally (i.e. 2% will be 2%), but sometimes, for apparently no reason at all, in the middle of playing audio is suddenly plays maximum volume, even though the slider isn't
necessarily on 100%. This could happen when playing music from YouTube.com on a browser (no matter what browser I use I would still have the same problem), or being in a zoom video meeting, no program in particular seems to be causing this. Bitdefender Total
Security has not reported any problems, neither has CCleaner free, windows defender, and sound settings troubleshoot.

Whether I play the audio on built-in speakers or external speakers/headphones makes no difference.

 

6230i suddenly started playing ringtone very quietly.

Hi,

I've got an MP3 ringtone, which used to work fine. All of a sudden, it's started playing very quietly for the first couple of seconds, and then gradually getting louder.

I've got it set to maximum volume (5) and the "incoming call alert" to Ringing.

Any idea how to get it back to ringing with some volume.

 

Volume level stuck at 100% on windows 11 laptop.

On my Laptop, there is a problem that the audio seems to play at 100% no matter what volume level it is at. For example, if it is on 1% it will still be playing at 100%. It stops playing at 0.
I have already tried these things:
*Updated, Uninstalled drivers.
*Run troubleshooter.
*Disabled and enabled audio enhancements.
My laptop is HP Pavilion Laptop 15-eh0xxx running windows 11.
