Audio is extremely quiet

[yoyoma]

Issue: When I first installed RST, the audio was clear and loud with default settings. At some point after that first day, the RST audio went extremely quiet, even after I jacked up the RST Volume in Settings all the way up. Currently I have in-game PS2 audio set to 5% and have the RST volume maxed out and I can still barely hear the RST audio.

Things I've tried:

• Pretty much every combination of the "Audio Output Device" and "Playback" settings in RST.
• Looking in Device Manager for any errors/exclamation points.
• Uninstalling and reinstalling RST.

Does anyone have any ideas?

The issue is resolved. I fixed it by installing an updated audio driver for my motherboard.

I take it back. The issue reappeared a couple days after the driver installation. WTF PC? Siiigh
