KeyaertChUnbelievable.... that worked. So relieved and also so frustrated that none of the support apps from Microsoft, Dell or Intel could identify and fix the driver issue.  Running those two driver executables has fixed all the issues I was having with Teams, sound volume and streaming. 

 

I visited the Dell website and downloaded the Realtek-High-Definition-Audio-Driver and the Realtek-USB-Audio-DCH-Driver that were listed for my Dell XPS13 (running Win 10).  The High Def driver was the same version you listed, there was a slightly newer one for the USB Audio.

 

Thank you!!!!!

    Problem came back this afternoon. Everything was working fine and then it wasn't. I tried the driver reinstall but it didn't work this time. I called Dell Support, they logged onto my laptop, acknowledged I have an issue and told me to reinstall the OS. I'm in the process of backing everything up and will give it a go in the morning.

      I’ve had some success. I was preparing for the rebuild by checking what apps I have installed and noticed that both Cisco Webex and Citrix Workplace had both updated around the time I first had the issue. Both run on start-up, I could see them in Task Manager. The Citrix app in particular has several processes and uses CPU constantly.

      I uninstalled both of them and the volume issue vanished. Unfortunately I didn’t test just prior or between uninstalls. So I can’t say for certain if one of those was the culprit. I have since reinstalled the Citrix app without issue. My gut feel is that there was an issue with the Citrix installation.

      Things have been working fine for two days now. Fingers crossed it is finally resolved.
