Whenever I plug any headphones into the 3.5mm jack, I have to turn down the Windows volume to 2 for the sound to be bearable.
I also do not see a 'Headphones' when I click on the sound icon in the bottom-right corner, only 'Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)'.
These problems do not persist if I use Bluetooth. I saw many people online have the same problem, but I haven't found a solution.
I have checked for updates for the audio driver not there were none.
Computer: Acer Aspire S5 371T
Windows Version: 1809
Realtek Driver Version: 6.0.1.7773

In your sound settings under the "Enhancements" tab do you have the option "Loudness Equalization"? if this is not activated please try turning this on. – CraftyB – 2018-11-10T10:32:50.097
@CraftyB Hi there, after turning on Loudness Equalization, the volume at low settings did not change, and is still loud. Strangely enough, I had to to follow the following guide just to find the 'Enhancements' tab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoYl8CLLQHo
