Hi there
There are many options for a sound booster for W10 however since I do not use one I can not recommend a singular option. But have you checked out this article?
8 Best Sound Volume Boosters for Windows
Don't know if it can be classed as a volume booster, but the only one I have used is Eartrumpet which is fantastic for adjusting the audio of separate apps.
Wish you the best in finding a program for you,
James

(EDIT)
If you would like any help in installing any listed programs, please let us know. I'm open to help with any program.
Please bear in mind that PC audio of itself is limited to a certain range. That is, if you 'boost' using PC features, instead of getting louder music, you begin to get distorted music (clipping). Imagine a sine wave with the top and bottom peaks chopped off.
If you need more, consider external ampification.
I fouled something up poking around before. then tried installing FxSound, wasnt loud enough, but now when I uninstall it, I have no sound at all, must have poked the wrong spot before I installed FX? like I said, Im not a techie, should not have 'poked' around before. have to keep FX installed to have some sound. and that is fouled up, when I double click it to adjust things/make louder, etc, it wont come up, nothing happens.
Hello @ImLost,
Have a look at this because your default setting mightNOTbe as you require . . .

Also, have a look at the Related Tutorials at the BOTTOM of the above Tutorial [ there are a few ], as they may also be helpful.
I hope this helps.
Paul - there was only one choice to click on...besides the FX (?)...I did, I got the sound back. for some reason, it still listed the FX that I had tried before, even thou I uninstalled it from the control panel.
dalchina - are system restore points made automatically by the computer, or do ya have to intentionally make them
But as a old norwegian proverb is saying: "You wouldn't get milk from a wooden cow" (free translation to anglosaxian..)
You could give this a try of course...
