Hello,
My speakers sometimes randomly put themselves in a “low volume” mode where I can hardly hear the sound.
It often happens after I have paused/un-paused a youtube video (for instance).
The problem seems to fix itself after some time without playing sound.
Does anyone have the same kind of problem ?
I can tell you it’s not universal as I’ve never seen it with Windows 11.
Thanks for your answer. I am on windows 10, so it is indeed maybe linked to this …
Good day. This just happened to me. Suddenly volume dropped significantly.
I’d say it’s at 20% of what is was minutes ago…
Master volume is at 100%
In mixer volume is 100% for all apps
Video player volume is at 100%
Windows “reduced volume during communications” crap is turned off.
Restarted the device, and volume is now back at it’s full capacity. No settings changed.
This is a real bug i can totally confirm and is framework laptop specific.
I have had this same problem. Disabling and re-enabling the various sound devices seem to do the trick.
I want to say it’s the “AMD High Definition Audio Device”, but I have also had instances where that didn’t work.
It seems to be less volume and more just the (software) EQ completely blowing up.
I’ve had the same issue in linux. Once in a while, usually when an application is just intermittently playing sound the audio will switch into an extremely low volume even though if the volume level is set to max. Nothing seems to fix it except a reboot or sometimes putting the laptop to sleep and waking it up again. I think it sounds fairly tinny when it’s low volume though that could just be my perception.
I also get this exact issue. I’m on Windows 11. I generally fix it by switching to a different audio output and back.
Seem to be a Youtube problem. Because other apps will work fine.
Happened yesterday again.
Not what I experience. When it happens, all the system is usually stuck in this “low volume mode”. And I believe it also happened with other apps.
Note that I am not impacted as much as before with this problem (it happens less often).
I’ve also had this issue in Linux for a few months now, usually I restart the laptop and it goes away.
Now though I’m consistently getting it and getting ready to open up my laptop and see if something has come loose or something. I’ll report back if I find anything, otherwise I’ll be here watching to see if anyone else finds out anything
