Since last week the max speaker volume has been drastically decreased.

Seems there was some software upgrade behind this. The driver version is still same but it definitely seems like a software issue.

I deleted the drivers and let windows install it again and it got fixed for two days but same issue is occurring again.

 

There seems to be heavy normalization going on which reduces the volume, the volume increases steadily as I raise the volume slider but after it reaches 50% the normalization seems to kick in and volume slider is useless between 50-100%

 

Youtube videos are almost inaudible. The music videos seem to have higher default audio gain so they are louder than dialog videos but still the volume is very low.
