    Check the sound volume settings in three places.
    #1 in Train Simulator by clicking the Settings button, then Audio, and checking that both the Ambient and Master controls are turned up
    #2 in Windows, usually clicking the speaker on the tool bar
    #3 for your speakers if they have a volume control (I can't count the number of times someone has turned it down on me)

    I notice this quietness, especially with AP stock, too. But I forgot to check number one in your list above, must do so tomorrow!

    In Windows it's possible to mess up per-app volume, so you could have 100% system volume but your browser would be 50%, music player 30% and your game 20%. Changing system to 50% would also move individual apps, keeping their percentages. The easiest mistake is to raise the volume of just one app, which will effectively raise master, keep 100% on that app and proportionally reduce the rest to keep them at their previous master.

    Note the horizontal line connecting from the overall volume.
    It's a major pain in the butt to fix if all you want is 100% for all apps. The easiest way is to set everything to 100% and then reset master to whichever you desire.
