So today I installed windows 10, and I love it except one thing:
The volume is bugged. I'll be sitting watching youtube videos on Microsoft Edge, click next video and my ears will be blown off because for some reason, the volume is all the way at 100% until I tweak it with the function key on my keyboard, in which it says it's at 30% and the audio jumps down to 30%. This mostly happens with Edge, and since Edge does not have a spot in my volume mixer, there's something funky going on there.
Everytime Edge loads a new video or audio element, the volume will jump to 100%, also sometimes when I switch between tabs, it will do the same.
I've also had Windows notification sounds jump to 100% in the volume mixer too. This is very frustrating as I am sometimes using a studio monitor, and having that blow because of a bug is just silly.
Is there any known issues with volume and Windows 10?
I should also mention that there is no headphone device in the volume settings, which there were before the upgrade.
6I get this with Firefox as well. Not an Edge problem. More like driver or windows related. – None – 2015-08-02T08:12:53.357
I too am getting this issue in Firefox, Chrome and every in Windows Explorer (e.g. the little noise that plays when you hit backspace). Adding a bounty because it is NOT just an issue with MS Edge. – Entity – 2015-09-18T01:34:09.240
Sometimes when upgrading to Win10, one ends up with an uncertified driver. I suggest deleting the sound device in Device Manager and rebooting. Try also in in the Enhancements tab to check Bass Booster and Loudness Equalization (if they exist). Question: What is your sound card? – harrymc – 2015-09-18T16:52:01.473
@harrymc I have tried deleting the device and rebooting, and I have messed around with the Enhancements options, but I'll try some more. I believe I have Realtek HD Audio. – Entity – 2015-09-19T00:38:16.310
In the Enhancements tab, uncheck all Disable sound effects that you see, If nothing helps, you might need to wait for Realtek to fix the problem. Getting in touch with their Support may help. – harrymc – 2015-09-22T17:04:53.847
@harrymc I do not have any such checkbox. I have tried checking and unchecking every checkbox I can find and the problem persists. – Entity – 2015-09-24T19:27:26.430
We can continue the discussion on my answer below. I think your driver is ridiculously limited. – harrymc – 2015-09-24T21:27:33.910
Get this with the Pandora UWP app, Chrome, anything using audio. – M Kenyon II – 2016-10-31T13:20:44.803
