Windows 10: Media sounds keep going really quiet?

Every time I get a notification or I go on a webpage with some media my spotify or VLC goes really quiet.

This only recently started happening.. I've not connected my phone to my Windows 10 or anything..

Any ideas?

Thanks

Microphone keeps going really quiet

I've had a problem for a few months now, where my microphone 'randomly' becomes really quiet for a reason i don't know. I first noticed the problem in discord, but its also been occurring with other applications so its not a Discord problem. it goes quiet
for a random amount of time, before reverting back 2 normal, only for a few seconds, which makes it almost impossible to talk to people with.

I've tried a few things. Such as:

• Updating audio drivers from device manager.
• Turned off all of the 'Exclusive Mode' options
• boosting my microphone to try and counteract going quiet (didn't help)
• buying a brand new headset. (The ARCTIS 3 - Arctis 3 Gaming Headset)

if anyone can help, it would be very appreciated as its been bugging me for a while now. Thanks

(also, i'm using windows 10)

 

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

 

Headphones sound really quiet after windows 10 creators update?

My headphones sound really quiet after the new creator's update.

What i have done so far:

I have reinstalled my headphone drivers.

I checked if Loudness Equalization does anything but there is not much improvement on how loud the sound is.

When I troubleshoot sound problems it says "Generic Audio Driver".
