    You have also went to control panel
    sounds and audio devices
    there is a volume slider and a speaker volume there you can adjust

    also by chance, when is the last time you PC was cleaned inside the case, excess dust build up on sound card can cause weird problems also.

    CLEANING & CHECK INSIDE THE CASE

    you need to check a few things:
    #1. is to turn off the PC and unplug
    #2. take area that has no carpet on the floor
    and take off sides
    #3 look and see how much dust and lint build up
    is on fans of CPU, Power Supply, Front Fan etc
    #4 take canned air blow all dust and lint out, on
    power supply be sure and do all sides, also blow
    from front of case though vent to clear it, last
    tip case to side and blow out loose stuff
    **
    caution if you must reach in side with hands and do not own a static strap, than keep one arm on case at all time while reach inside with hands, to avoid static elasticity

    Dust build up inside case in number cause of fans running over time as heat is building up to fast in side case because lack of fans able to turn fast enough, dirt blocking vents, this can lead to power supply dieing if it over heats to much to many times

    #5 once all clean plug back in and watch how fast all
    fans turn, should be good speed, especially the power supply and CPU

    #6 if all good put back together and should be good
    to go, just check more often

    sounds like the volume key/dial on your keyboard is stuck, unless you can clean out whatever's making it stick you will probably need a new keyboard.

    to confirm if its the keyboard i suggest testing it with a different one, borrow one from a friend if you dont have one and if you can change the volume the keyboard is to blame
