Windows 10: Sound is too low in some applications, and too loud in others after upgrading motherboard.

Yesterday I built a PC and put in a new motherboard and processor. Today when i watched a video on youtube, the volume was VERY low. I had to turn the youtube volume up all the way, and my headphone volume up ALL the way to be able to here it at a decent level. I used to only have my headphone volume at 50% and if i raised it, sometimes it would get too loud. So what is now 100% volume used to be 50% volume. I spent literally half the day today trying to fix it, i downloaded all kinds of audio drivers, Realtek (which i already had), dolby digital, Nahimic, nothing worked. I opened sony vegas and the volume is low there too. I opened an MP3 song that i had installed, it was too low (btw when i turned the volume up all the way on that song, it wasnt loud enough BUT i could hear a "whizzing" sound from my headphone speakers as if the bass was turned all the way up but no sound was getting through... you know?) then i finally gave up... i opened a game (battlefield 1) put on my headphones... and BAAAM THE VOLUME WAS SO LOUD!!!! even when i turned my headphone volume all the way down it was loud. When i messed with the ingame sound settings, something weird happened. On the volume scale (0 - 100%) when i changed the volume from anywhere to like 20% to 100%.. there was almost NO volume level change.,.. only when i changed the ingame volume from 0% to 20% did i hear a volume level difference. What is going on? Btw there is NOT an "enhancements" tab in the sound settings.. i know u were thinking that but no. You wouldnt believe how many sources were saying that was the problem. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled AND updated all kinds of audio drivers and nothing changed... please help

Sound is too low for windows 10

Try these steps:

• 
  Open the Sound menu (as shown in your second screenshot).
  
• 
  Right-click on your speakers (or the audio output you want to amplify), and select Properties.
  
• 
  Go to the Enhancements tab.
  
• 
  Check the Loudness Equalization option.
  

This makes quiet sounds louder, loud sounds quieter.

 

Headphone sound is too loud, even on low settings.

Hi,

Several factors can contribute to the issue with sound levels in your headphones being to loud to the point of being distorted. This could be caused by device drivers that need to be updated or settings we need to reconfigure. For us to resolve your concern,
kindly answer the questions below:

• Does the problem only occur with these particular headphones? It's possible the headphones have their own volume controls.
• Where do your have the headphones plugged in, is it on the speaker out on the back of motherboard, the headphone out or an external USB sound card?

There are multiple volume controls available in Windows 10 depending on what's installed. The sound card itself may have its own set of volume controls, so check for any programs related to the sound card.

We look forward to your response to our queries.
