system notification sounds overly loud

hey guys ive noticed the notification sounds are way too loud. if i go into system sounds and hit the little green 'test' button it plays nicely at a normal level. but when the actual notification comes in i get this boosted version of the same sound that is extremely annoying. I have the sounds disabled for the time being but am wondering if anyone has a clue why this is happening.

it happens even if i change the notification sound to something else. maybe ill have to make a custom version with it -12db or something then it might sound normal

love the new forums look forward to being here in the future

Same issue here, seems to be a bug where a notification resets System Sounds level to 100%.

Be sure to report this in the Windows Feedback app. :)

I'm going to post a ME TOO here just so anyone reading this thread is not struck by the fact that only a couple of people are affected.

This was pretty much the FIRST Windows 10 Annoyance I found, although I will say overall that Win 10 is Microsoft's best showing of the Windows product going back to Windows 3.1 (remember that?)

I am hoping Microsoft works out this completely obvious and enraging bug among the many others.

Exact same issue here. I have the system notifications volume set very low. Testing the volume in sounds plays at a very low volume. E-mail comes in and blasts me with volume.

April 2017 and still no change. My notification sounds are so loud that they are distorted.
