Windows 10: Sound Too Low on Windows 10

I just bought a Dell Inspiron 3670 desktop computer. I am moving over from an HP Pavilion a1640n that was running XP. The sound was great with XP on the Pavilion. With Windows 10 and this new computer, the sound is so low I cannot even watch a movie.


I have done the following, so please tell me what other solutions there are:

1. Set volumes everywhere to 100 percent.
2. Followed the suggestion at this link. Nothing changed. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware/windows-10-audio-sound-level-is-very-quiet/3c0e6d40-51dc-486a-aff8-7326b6b43fc7
3. Installed two different generic drivers offered by my computer when I use the option to set drivers myself.

When I first booted up the computer, a generic HD driver was installed. I got rid of it and had the computer update to the best driver. Perhaps that was my downfall.


In addition, for a while there was no sound whatsoever coming from the speaker. When I tried the speaker on my old computer, it worked fine.


There is something very wrong with this Dell Inspiron. I am beyond disgusted, but unfortunately I bought it in February and am not getting it ready until now. This is only one of the many problems I am encountering.

Windows 10 sound is low

Hi Harpreet,

There are many factors that can cause this on your computer, such as problematic sound hardware, outdated or incompatible audio/sound card drivers, faulty sound configurations and more.
We would like to ask for additional information. Please provide the following:

• Which build of Windows 10 are you using? To know about it, hit
  Start, type Winver and then press
  Enter. You could also press Windows Key + R, type
  Winver into the
  Run dialog and press Enter.
• Are you referring to sound quality of the computer/speakers/headphones?
• Have you checked from the manufacturer's website if there's a driver available to be installed? Since you've mentioned you just updated your device.

Moreover, we suggest that you check this article to troubleshoot sound problems in Windows 10. Make sure to follow
the steps one-by-one.

Looking forward to the requested information and the results of the recommended troubleshooting steps.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
