#WINDOWS 10 LOW AUDIO VOLUME DRIVER#

In conclusion, im guessing windows 'hides' these driver controls/settings during major updates. Now everything sounds just as it did before. literally just enough to explain why my sound was quieter, but not so quiet that I would notice unless I payed close attention to them as I am forced to when I stream.

Installed them, did a PC restart and then I now see that my speakers are being controlled by realtek drivers AND that the volume was set to 67% (supposed to be 100% since theyre speakers with volume knobs).

After realizing this, I then go to my motherboard's website and download the latest version of the drivers that worked with my motherboard. SO it turns out that it had removed those drivers and/or hid them. What I did not realize/overlooked because I wasnt paying attention is that after major updates for w10, it is very common for it to straight up remove and/or hide 'realtek HD audio drivers' this was a crucial thing for me as i've used it for years and without it I have ran into lots of problems (like this one haha). it required me to restart my computer multiple times. Okay so windows has been having major updates recently, the last one prior to this latest one was about 3+ weeks ago. Will explain this for anyone else who may be having the issue. YAY!!! OKAY UPDATE! I have fixed the issue haha. Idk if this proves or means anything just thought it was odd because I remember always looking at sounds with firefox and almost always remember it being at the same exact levels as my speakers readings. I also did a test with firefox using a pretty loud song and noticed that on the mixer firefox's sound does not match up with my speakers output when the volume is maxed out. This is the level I would keep it at when I would stream and play a video game that sounded fine now its too quiet and that is what really made me star to look at this issue.https /i./EkBF8m4.png Here is how the sound looks if I pretty much use anything other than 100% on spotify. I have tried every basic step that I can think of and most are covered on this:https /Here is how it looks with a pretty loud song playing at max volume on spotify (it is also the same when I play Overwatch at max volume which used to hit max easily at 100%):https /i./G2Evr9I.png The only time the meter goes up to the top is if something is ridiculously loud or if I use youtube/things on mozilla because everything is loud on there. Video games that I stream/play that I needed to cut down to about 20% because they were so loud at 100% now sound too quiet and levels at 100% only reach to half? Spotify is now super quiet unless the program is set to 100% and even then it only goes half way. after I noticed that happening I started to noticed that everything sounded way too quiet. I first noticed it when I had to turn my speakers beyond the 25% mark which is usually the point in which (I feel) 'true sound' is achieved before things sound too loud. It seems as if all normal sounds are cut down in half? if that makes any sense. And recently I noticed that I am suddenly having to bump all my sounds up pretty much to max to hear everything, as I looked further into this I notice that on my windows sound mixer levels meter all of my sounds do not match what usually happens at all. I am a twitch streamer who is constantly paranoid/paying attention to my sound levels when streaming so I notice any slight sound changes.

I am running windows 10 pro 64 bit, I use logitech z623's for sound plugged into rear 3.5 jack of my X99-A II motherboard. Alright so I recently ran into an issue that I have only noticed very recently because of specific circumstances.
