Audio too low on headset.

Hello I am using Windows 10, and when i connect headsets via the aux port they all sound incredibly low, even on 100% and volume mixer topped. However, when I connect inside the ear earbuds, they sound as they should, 100 volume being super loud, and 50 half, etc.

I wonder why does this only happen on gaming headsets, and how to fix it?

    I meant that it could be and issue with the port instead. Other than headsets, do you have other device that could test with the port?

    Alternatively, with your headset plugged in, you can try running the troubleshooter:

    Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Select troubleshoot tab > under "get up and running", click on playing audio > click on run the troubleshooter and follow on-screen directions.

    Next, you can try updating the headset driver:

    Go to Start > Type "Device Manager" and hit enter > right click on your headset driver and select update driver > Click on "Search automatically for updated driver software" to ensure that you have the latest driver.

    If this issue started occurring after a recent windows update, you can try roll back driver:

    Go to Start > Type "Device Manager" and hit enter > right click on your headset driver > select properties > select driver tab > click roll back driver

    If roll back driver isn’t available or did not work, you can try uninstall your headset driver and scan for hardware changes:

    Go to Start > Type "Device Manager" and hit enter > right click on your headset driver > select properties > select driver tab > click on uninstall device > select "Delete the driver software for this device" and click OK > In Device Manager, on the Action menu, select Scan for hardware changes > Wait for it to scan and reinstall the driver then restart your pc and check if the issue still persists.

    Hello! I have tried two different gaming headsets to the same effect, and both sound very quiet. When i use in ear earbuds they sound as loud as they should.
    I have tried updating the driver, changing driver, and tons of tinkering with troubleshooting and the loudness eq thing.
    weirdly, when i use those two gaming headsets on a console they sound as loud as they come, no problem whatsoever.
    When I use the headsets in other devices they work normal, but on my pc they are super quiet.
    I do not think this is a hardware issue, since the two headsets work normally on console or other pcs, and the in ear buds work great on my pc. I dont know what could it be... thanks

    Hi MauricioMuñoz8,

    My name is Darren, I'm here to help you with your problem.

    It could be a hardware issue, can you try another headset on the current computer? also, try the headset on another pc/device?

    I hope this helps. If this is not exactly what you need, please explain more so that I can help you better.

    Thanks
