[Fixed] Very low volume streaming from PC

[730]

For posterity, here's how to fix this:
-Right click the volume icon on the tray bar
-Click "Open Volume Mixer"
-Click the device dropdown and select "Speakers (Steam Streaming Speakers)"
-Drag the volume slider on this to max (or however much you'd like, though you can just lower the volume afterwards from the device being streamed to so I don't think having it at 100% would hurt)
-Click the device dropdown and select the device you use normally, now you can close the volume mixer

I've tried streaming the games SeaBed and Devil Engine so far, and everything works alright except for the volume, which is exceedingly low. Having the Windows volume, the volume of the game (from Windows), the internal game music volume, and my phone volume all at max, it can still only be heard by putting my ear up to the phone speaker.
I normally use a USB DAC for audio output, which generally complicates things when capturing audio for streaming, though the log does say "Audio source [System Windows]", and turning off, changing the volume, or plugging/unplugging headphones from the DAC didn't have any effect on the volume.

I'm having the same problem, the sound isn't that loud at all, I have all volumes set to max, phone, the game, the computer

This log doesn't have the setup at the beginning where it talks about audio capture. When streaming, is the audio device switched to Steam Streaming Speakers? What's the volume on that device?

Oh I see, I had the volume low on the Steam Streaming Speakers, changing the volume on that fixed it, thanks!

You just saved me who knows how much time. I had turned off steam streaming speakers a long time ago not knowing what they were and because discord kept asking about them.

А у меня 100%, а звук всё равно тихий. Все устройства выставлены на максимум, всё равно очень, очень тихо.
