sound in windows 11 alway from small to big when i play video

Dear Peace,

Thank you for posting your question on our forum.

To troubleshoot sound issues on Windows 11, please follow these steps:

Step 1: Check the Sound Settings

• Click on the speaker icon in the Windows taskbar and select "Open Sound settings" from the menu.
• In the Sound settings window, ensure the correct audio device is selected under the "Output" section.
• Scroll down and click on "Advanced sound options" to access additional sound settings.
• Troubleshoot and check the volume levels for the specific output device, adjusting them as needed.

Step 2: Update Audio Drivers

Outdated or incompatible audio drivers can cause sound problems. Visit the website of your computer's manufacturer or the sound card manufacturer to download and install the latest audio drivers for your specific model.
Alternatively, you can use Auslogics Driver Updater to automatically scan and update your audio drivers.

Download Auslogics Driver Updater from https://www.auslogics.com/en/software/driver-updater/.

Step 3: Disable Audio Enhancements

Some audio enhancements or special effects can interfere with sound playback. To disable them:

• In the Sound settings window, under the "Output" section, click on your device name, and then on the "Advanced" link.

• In the device properties window, go to the "Enhancements" tab and check the box next to "Disable all enhancements."
• Click "Apply" to save the changes and test if the issue persists.

Step 4: Reset Audio Settings

If the above steps didn't resolve the problem, resetting the audio settings to their default values might help:

• In the Sound settings window, scroll down and click on the "Volume mixer."
• Then click on the "Reset" button under the "Apps" option.

Test the sound again to check if the issue has been resolved.

Step 5: Perform a System Restart

Sometimes a simple system restart can resolve temporary software glitches affecting sound playback. Save any unsaved work, close all applications, and restart your computer.
After the restart, play a video, mp3, or a YouTube video to check if the issue persists.

If the issue still persists after following these steps, please provide more information about your computer's specifications, any recent software or hardware changes, and any error messages you might have encountered. This will help us further diagnose the problem and provide you with more specific solutions.

HelloJames Wright. Thank you so much for your support. I already try to follow steps but I can't solve it. Could you please help?

Dear Peace,

Thank you for posting your question on our forum.

Please try to perform the steps below:

Step 1: Disable Communication Activity Detection

Windows 11 has a feature that automatically lowers the volume when it detects communication activity, such as making or receiving calls. This feature can sometimes cause the volume to decrease unexpectedly. To disable this feature, please follow these steps:

• Right-click on the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select "Sound settings."
• Scroll down to the "Advanced" section and click on "More sound settings."
• Switch to the "Communications" tab and select the "Do nothing" option. Then, click "OK".

Step 2: Check for Third-Party App Interference

Certain third-party apps or programs on your PC might be altering the volume levels without your input. For example, Discord has a feature called Attenuation that can automatically reduce the volume of other audio sources. To check for this:

• Close all applications and programs running on your PC.
• Open the Task Manager by right-clicking on the Taskbar and selecting "Task Manager."
• Look for any third-party apps or programs that might be running in the background and potentially affecting the sound. If you find any, try closing or disabling them temporarily to see if the issue persists.

Step 3: Check if the Problem is with a Specific Device

Sometimes, the sound issue can be specific to a particular device. To check if this is the case, try connecting another device, such as headphones or external speakers, and see if the problem persists. If the issue occurs with multiple devices, it's more likely to be a system or software-related problem.

Step 4: Enable Exclusive Mode in Sound Settings

If multiple apps on your PC are trying to use the audio output device at the same time, it can lead to conflicts and cause the volume level to fluctuate on its own. You’ll need to allow apps exclusive control over the audio output device to avoid this issue:

• Right-click on the speaker icon on the Taskbar and select Sound settings.
• Scroll down to the Advanced section and click on "More sound settings."
• Double-click on your audio device to open its properties.
• Under the Advanced tab, tick the boxes that read ‘Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device’ and ‘Give exclusive mode applications priority.’ Then, hit OK.

Step 5: Update the Operating System

Make sure that your Windows 11 is up to date with the latest updates and patches. Microsoft frequently releases updates to address various issues and improve system performance. To check for updates, follow these steps:

• Open the Windows 11 "Settings" by clicking on the Start menu and selecting the gear icon.
• In the Settings window, click on "Windows Update" from the left-hand menu.
• Click on the "Check for updates" button and let Windows search for available updates.
• If updates are found, download and install them. Restart your computer if prompted.

Step 6: Reset the Operating System

If the above steps did not resolve the issue, you can consider resetting the operating system. This will revert your Windows 11 settings to their default state. Before proceeding with this step, make sure to back up your important files and data.

• Go to the Windows 11 "Settings" by clicking on the Start menu and selecting the gear icon.
• In the Settings window, click on "System" and then select "Recovery" from the left-hand menu.
• Under the "Reset this PC" section, click on "Reset PC" and follow the on-screen instructions to reset the operating system.

We hope these additional recommendations will help you resolve the sound issue in Windows 11. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to ask.
