Question

Lenovo Yoga 2 Sound Very Low

Jan 13, 2015 6:25AM PST

So I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 13, and all of a sudden, the sound dropped very low overnight somehow. Even when I turn volume on 100% using the keys and system, it's so quiet I can't hear the words on a show I'm watching. I have the volume turned up to max everywhere. However, when I go to playback devices from the speaker icon in the lower right hand corner, and go to properties, and from there go to advanced and press test, the sound is very loud, as it would normally be. I checked Netflix for the sound and it is turned all the way up. I even checked on other apps like iTunes or YouTube to see if the problem persisted, and the sound continued to be very low. Any help?
Thanks

No Restore Point
Jan 13, 2015 6:47AM PST

If I create a restore point right now and then do a restore will it solve the problem or not? Because I have never created a restore point.

Restore points are created when you install something or are created periodically by Windows. Have you checked System Restore for points earlier to go back to?

Well, ****. No, the system protection software was not turned on ever since I got my computer. What should I do now?

I didn't write about system protection software.

System Restore is a native feature of the OS that came with this machine. Out of the box and and a fresh install it's enabled.
