Volume is weak even with all app and device preferences at 100%

[MeghanS]

Me and my husband recently purchased the HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 16-a0xxx, and we haven't seemed to have any issues except the volume. Even with the volume all the way up on all app and device preferences, my PHONE is still louder in the other room. than the laptop is. Is this a common issue? Even in a group setting, I seem to be the only one having issues...
