Windows 10: My High definition Audio output is too loud after a Windows update.

My computer updated randomly without me asking it to, so I didn't question it. But after I was done setting everything up on my computer, I wanted to watch some videos on YouTube. But I notice my audio output got louder then normal. So long story, I was having a lot of problems with my Realtek High Definition Audio device because of automatic audio loudness. So I wanted to change that for good. And I found something that changed my life! But not for long... My computer wanted to update for some reason, so that was okay to me. But when I noticed my audio output got louder, I started to panic so much that I felt like I lost hope for good. So I posted my problem and someone said to me to go here for an answer. So what can I do to fix this?

Realtek High Definition Audio [Code 19]

Hello @MohammedShuaib1986,

Thank you for taking the time to help me. I performed the actions above that you described in both Fix#1 and Fix#2

but unfortunately the problem remains.

For Fix#1, I ran the CMD as the administrator and received each prompt.

I was instructed to restart the computer. When my computer booted up

I attempted to play something with audio. When I did not hear anything I

attempted the same method again but this time I did not receive the same

prompts. This time the pop up window I received displayed the message:

"Troubleshooting couldn't identify the problem"

For Fix#2, I was given a list of input options to select from that read

==========================================

"Which of these devices do you want to troubleshoot?"

( ) NIVIDIA Output - NIVIDIA High Definition Audio

( ) NIVIDIA Output - NIVIDIA High Definition Audio

( ) SA230 - NIVIDIA High Definition Audio

( ) NIVIDIA Output - NIVIDIA High Definition Audio

===========================================

But I did not see Realtek High Definition Audio anywhere.

Is there anything else I can try?
