After the latest Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, many people reported that they cannot hear the voice clearly because of the low sound volume. Though the sound level has been slid to the top of the control bar, it seems the sound volume is still too low to hear. Some users also encounter the low sound volume problem when they're playing games, like PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS (PUBG).

Today, this post will show you top 2 ways to fix the low volume issue and improve the sound to a loud level.

Way 1. Change Sound-related Settings to Fix the Low Sound Volume Issue
