I previously posted this on the 'Tom's forums:
"All of a sudden - for some unknown reason - the audio levels on all my games are 2-3 notches lower than they were. The sound levels on YouTube are nomal. Most of my games are on Steam...except for Guild Wars 2, but all are affected. Anyone know anything about this strange anomaly or what might be causing it?"
Well, I finally got it sorted out: turned out to be a buggy mod that I had installed for Fallout 4! Yeah, one buggy mod screwed up the audio for all my games! The mod is: Misriah Armory, by Nova. So, if you're having problems with your audio performance, and you're playing Fallout 4 with this mod installed, disable it and see if that fixes your problem.
