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.

    KeyaertCh Just in case somebody else comes across this, I think we have a fix (for my place of work anyway). We had some success with the Audio driver updates for our Dell laptops, there two below if anyone needs them:

    Realtek-High-Definition-Audio-Driver (released 2nd March 21)

    Realtek-USB-Audio-Driver (released 6th Oct 21)

     

    We couldn't find any issues related to the Citrix Workspace/ Receiver applications we have installed, and the issue still occurred whether or not we used our external Plantronics headsets. However we have found some Applocker settings within Group policy which were on Audit only mode, which since turning off out right - have shown considerable improvements. Hope this helps.
