Windows 10: Speaker volume randomly lowering

I have an MSI GE66 Raider laptop with Windows 10 Home, Realtek HD Audio and Nahimic. I purchased it in December and have experienced a strange problem ever since.While using virtually any program with audio Youtube in MS Edge, any game, etc., the speaker volume will frequently randomly lower all on its own. The volume level shown in the system tray is not affected, nor are the app-specific levels under App Volume and Device Preferences. When it occurs, the volume generally "ramps down" slowly over 2-3 seconds, making me think it's related to driver or other software, not ha

HELP: Windows Volume Randomly Lowers and then Returns Issue

Hi, this has been happening constantly, I just never bothered to fix it until now, when its really starting to get on my nerves....

The volume of my PC sometimes randomly lowers the volume, and then the volume level returns to normal. In the process of shifting volume, there are some slight static noises.

This generally happens when the computer is being loaded down(like while gaming, or watching Youtube)

The volume bar doesn't change at all, just the actual speaker shifts in volume.

If I plug in earbuds, this still happens, just with the speakers of the earbuds alone.

Here's what I've tried already:

-check for new updated audio driver

-reinstalling the Realtek audio driver

-run troubleshoot

-disable all enhance audio settings

-checking off "don't do anything" in the communications settings

-restarting the computer multiple times

Any other suggestions?
