Very high volume on Windows 10 when any media starts playing
I'm having this very annoying issue with my Win 10 tablet/laptop. It's the "mini surface" by ASUS namely T102HA.
Every time I start playing media, the volume seems to be at maximum. When I try to adjust it, it corrects itself to where it was before the media started playing.
E.g.
- Volume is set to 5%.
- I start watching a movie with GOM Media Player
- Volume jumps up (tray icon shows no change, and it still shows 5% when I hover my mouse over it)
- I adjust the volume using the rocker button or the tray icon, and the volume instantly goes down to 5%
The problem persists with all media apps that I've tried: Windows Media Player, Groove, MusicBee, GOM etc
The worst part is that it happens with my headphones on, and you can imagine how painful that is.
I have tried uninstalling the audio driver with no success.
I have also tried disabling all the Enhancements in Control Panel.
Any ideas?

For anyone facing this issue with Realtek drivers I have found that version 6.0.1.7016 of the drivers (Got mine from Dell's website) stops the volume raising issue.
This is how I went about installing the drivers to stop Windows from updating them:
Download 7-Zip from here and install it. (I use the 9.38 Beta which works fine under Windows 10.)
Download drivers from Dell here make sure to Choose the first download ending in A00.exe. Do not Install them yet!
Right click on the downloaded driver package 7-Zip-Extract to-> "XPS_8700..."
Download the wushowhide utility from Microsoft here.
Go to Device Manager. You can find it simply by typing "Device Manager" into the Ask me anything search bar. Under Sound, video and game controllers right click on Realtek and choose Uninstall from the Menu. Check the checkbox for "Delete the driver software for this device" and click Ok.
Restart your machine.
Run the wushowhide utility click Next then click on -> Hide Updates Check the checkbox for Realtek Semiconductor Corp... and click Next and run through the rest of the utility. Completing this step is crucial or Windows Update will continue to install updated drivers that break your sound.
Go back to Device Manager and once again under Sound, video and game controllers right click on Realtek and choose Uninstall from the Menu. Check the checkbox for "Delete the driver software for this device" and click Ok.
Do not restart this time when it asks you to.
Go to the XPS_8700 folder where you extracted the drivers go to the RealtekHDAudio folder and inside of it run Setup.
The Setup application will install the old drivers and restart your machine. This worked for me on my desktop machine, but I cannot guarantee it will work for everyone with Realtek on-board sound. However it is worth a shot if you have Realtek on-board sound, enjoy Windows 10, but cannot handle getting your eardrums rattled every time a new audio stream plays.
