Hello try these to options;

Two ways to solve or make it better:
Go to control panel > Hardware and Sound > Change system sounds
Right-click on speakers > Properties
Under Enhancements tab, check Loudness Equalization
Click apply and then ok.

Go to control panel > Hardware and Sound > Change system sounds
Under Communications tab, select Do Nothing
Click apply and then ok

Let me know if this helps.

Loudness Equalization makes it worse. And I already has the do nothing under communications.
It is only IE BTW.

That sadly did nothing. This is such an odd issue that I've never seen before!

same here, i can't see what is causing this. I'm honestly stumped. Im sure someone will be able to help us shed a light on this though.

Sorry i could not help.
