For some reason, my speaker audio has become extremely low, even with the speaker volume and all software volume (e.x. volume mixer, Realtek Audio Console) at 100% volume. The only way I can even hear my speaker audio anymore is to install the 3rd party software "Equalizer APO 1.3" and turn it up by 20 decibels,
It's also worth mentioning that this only affects my speakers (which use Realtek audio as their device), while my headset (which uses a separate USB audio device) has no issues. Here are the fixes I've tried:
1. I've turned every volume meter in volume mixer up to 100%. I've also turned every meter in the Realtek Audio Console up to 100%.
2. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Realtek audio driver which came with my PC.
3. I've purchased new speakers and have the same issue even with the speaker volume turned up to100%.
