Windows 10: Windows 10 volume is extremely low after latest update

After installing the latest cumulative updates for Windows 10 version 1903, I have experienced low volume issues on my laptop.


Rarely it will behave normally. For reference, here are system specifications:


i5-3320M at 2.6GHz

8GB DDR3L

120GB SSD

Windows 10 Pro

Laptop model: ThinkPad T430 type 2349

Extremely low microphone volume after upgrade

After updating from Windows 7 to Windows 10 (kinda prefer 7 to be honest, but still getting used to 10), I've discovered that the input volume on my microphone - a generic old style (though not immensely old) stalk mic - is extremely low, low enough that
software just considers it noise. I have updated my Realtek audio drivers to no effect. Driver volume and boost set to maximum. Any idea what I can do about this?

Hello,

I request you to follow the below steps:

Step 1: Uninstall the Sound card Drivers

• Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.
• Click on “Device Manager” from that list.
• Search for the Sound driver from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then
  remove the corrupted drivers from the computer.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and the restart the computer if prompted.

After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.

Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website.

Step 2: Go to the Computer or Sound Card manufacturer’s website and search for the latest Windows 10 drivers available for the Sound Card model and then install it by following the instructions given in the website.

I hope this helps you. If you have any further query in future, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help you.

Thank you.

I tried that a couple days ago, but I just tried again now to no effect. The compatible drivers are "audio endpoint" and "generic software device", both of which result in extremely low input volume.
