Windows 10: My left headphone randomly lowers it's volume.

Suddenly, a few hours ago, for some reason my left headphone's volume was lowered. Since I wasn't sure if it was my impression or the headphone actually not working properly I used a stereo tester: https://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_stereo.php and, after I used it (actually whenever I used it to reproduce left headphone or right headphone) the volume of the left headphone became the same again. It happened again every 10-15 mins and every time I did the same and it was temporarily solved. I'd like to know if there is a permanent solution to this.


In case it's relevant, it was produced while I was playing a game while watching videos on my other screen.

Lower headphone sound, Windows 10

That wouldn't solve the issue of headphones over headsets, but even with my Logitech headset this didn't help. Troubleshooting found no issue.

I've loved Windows, and have no idea why I'm just having this issues with headphones and headsets. It's loud for a second then something lowers the volume and I have no idea whats causing it. :/

Thanks for the suggestion Abdul, even though I'm having the same problem.
