Audio louder than usual until volume is changed

Use Aida64 utility to find out which is the model of your audio card. Then try downloading latest driver directly from manufacturer, do not rely only on Dell's site.

I've had this problem since I upgraded to windows 10, still no solution?

Use Aida64 to see the exact model, or open Device Manager, right-click on your audio card, select Properties, go to Details tab, select Hardware IDs from the list and then see the VID (VEN) and PID (DEV). For example for my Creative Audigy these are VEN=1102 and DEV=0004, so I should Google for "1102 0004 drivers". You Google your own and you should find drivers. Use the newest official you can find with that order: Windows 10, 8, 7 and Vista. If anyone doesn't work, try the next earlier one. Windows XP driver is the last resort for Windows 10 32-bit only.

I had this exact issue, and managed to resolve it by installing the latest realtek drivers (specifically, revision 282 0009-64bit_Win7_Win8_Win81_Win10_R282.exe)

Hope this helps someone.

I spent a few good hours trying to fix my issue and finally found a solution as well. I have an ASUS ROG G750JX running windows 10 64 bit and I tried almost everything in this entire thread. Soundlock, uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, updating drivers. Nothing seemed to work. While soundlock did what it was supposed to, speaker sound vs headphones were vastly different so I couldn't have a default sound level for both.

The most promising fix I had was uninstalling the realtek drivers and then just manually updating to the default windows drivers but each time I went to watch any video the drivers would automatically update to the realtek drivers again. So what I did to get it to work was to go to Device Manager -> Sounds -> Realtek driver, and just hit the Roll Back Driver option and voila. The driver stopped updating and I no longer have any issues with spiking of audio sound.

So hopefully if people are still having troubles with spiking audio even with latest realtek drivers this solution works or you.

Hello guys,
Just created this account to try to help you.

I've solved the audio problem (Volume abruptly increase after you hit the volume key of keyboard just one time / pauses a video for more than 10 secs / move the youtube volume button just a little with the mouse) in my ASUS X550LN installing the following version: 6.0.1.8219

Try searching for Audio_Realtek_Win10_64_VER6018219 in google and I hope you solve your problems with audio.

Thank you very much !
I had this problem with my ASUS ROG G551JW Win 10 64 bit since 2015, I tried every version since then without luck until now.
I no longer have the problem with the 6.0.1.8219 version.

I'm sorry to bump this thread, but when I asked about this nobody replied. Has anyone found a clear solution on this problem? I see a lot of solutions here, but they seem to be from people with a 1-post history saying to download unknown files, and I'm unsure how safe this is.

better yet, here's the direct download link to the 6.0.1.8219 driver package from ASUS - saves people time trying to search for it. for certain ASUS "gaming" laptops here's another alternate 6.0.1.8219 driver pack from ASUS though this alternate one is much bigger.
