i swear my speakers used to be louder at mid setting than they currently are. i now have to set to almost fully way up for it to be what i consider a good volume for music. either i'm going death, the speakers are failing, or some where in windows something is turned down.

i've checked the volume mixer, and chrome and the master volume seems to be maxed.

i noticed the volume being lower first when i used a splitter for the aux in, as it seemed to go almost half volume, but ever since coming back to just straight in single aux, i'm still doubting the volume is it's highest possible for these speakers.

what can i do to check?
 
I was going to say have you checked the silly windows sound enhancements are all disabled
bass boost, virtual, loudness equalization
these can mess-with/corrupt the output sound ?


not sure what you meant by splitter .. you are using an analogue input to the PC too ?

this is the splitter i used before. i had a chromecast audio go into the speakers, as well as the pc which was connected by an aux cord. now i've removed the splitter and i've just the aux straight from pc box to speakers.
