This started happening a while ago. I realized the volume I hear is very low. I opened up the volume control panel and I see the speakers are outputting a lower volume than "System" (it is only lowering System not other applications):

enter image description here

Not only that, some applications that have sounds won't show on the panel and the speakers are not outputting those audio. Every time I have to re-enable the audio driver (Intel(R) Display Audio) to make it work.

What is causing this behavior? How can I fix this? This is driving me crazy.

  • start by going into control pannel sounds and looking at (double click) your speakers, in both levels and check enhancements.

    @Psycogeek - Thanks for all the info. Although they are very helpful, they didn't solve my problem. At the end I updated my audio driver and everything is working fine now. – Derek 朕會功夫 Aug 01 '14 at 02:06
