RealTek audio loud, in-game audio sharply muted
This is a problem that just started after having my drive wiped and OS re-installed.
Sound plays quite loudly when played through virtually anything; media players, Youtube, Firefox and Internet Explorer, anything. Yet the sounds from certain video games are extremely low in volume, which has never happened to me before.
Also worth noting: At seemingly random intervals, certain sounds in the games would play at full volume.
Attaching my DxDiag
One thing I noticed is that in the Playback devices, the stereo mix always picks up sounds louder than the speakers play out, unsure if this is related at all.
Also not sure if it's related or relevant, but my original system had the hard drives set on IDE, but now they're both set on AHCI
EDIT: I think I've solved it. It was just a matter of turning on Loudness Equalization. Leaving it open because I wanna know if this is indeed the issue or just a quickfix.
