Hi,

There's a big possibility that the issue may occur in the browser alone. Upon reviewing the thread, it seems that you haven't tried using Edge or Internet Explorer. We encourage you to try using Edge and Internet Explorer, so we would know where the issue is coming from. It would also be a big help in isolating this case.

I switched to Internet Explorer and the volume (YouTube) was louder but only through my laptop and not the speakers.
