laptop volume stuck
my laptop’s volume has been stuck for about a year at 100. even though it says its at 2, 4 etc it sounds the same as when its at 100. its constantly stuck at the highest volume.
this problem only is solved when i connect headphones, and then the bar works again.
i can use in-app volume bars to make it quieter without headphones, but i just want my normal one to work again.
one day i turned it on and it just stopped working. its an alienware laptop. ive tried restarting it obviously, no updates needed. no visible breakage, and its never taken a hard fall.
