Windows 10: Speaker Issue

I have an issue with my laptops speaker which was loud enough. However, after running some windows update and restarted it, the quality of the sound reduces to a very low volume quality even when the speakers volume is at the highest

Windows 10 recognizes my UE Megaboom as a headset and not a speaker will not work?
