After I plugged in a speaker to this laptop, I noticed that there is no way to increase volume over 37. There was no sound warning too. I connected my earbuds which I use everyday and have had no problem before, the same thing happens. How to fix?

Also there is no enhancement tab when both were connected.

    This solution worked! For those who still struggle with this issue, I'm going to repost the "fix information" with a small bit of updated info:

    go to Device Manager, double-click on Sound, video, and game controllers. Then double-click Realtek Audio, go to Driver tab, then click Update driver. Select Browse my computer for driver software, then Let me pick from a list... If there are two options, choose the first option. If that one doesn't fix it, then install the 2nd option. One of these (if you have two choices) should if it!

    If you dont want to revert back to an old driver, heres the proper solution after updating the realtek driver. 

    Right click the volume control -> Open Sound settings

    With "Headphones (Realtek(R) Audio)" as your output device, click "Device Properties".

    Under "Related Settings", click "Additional device properties"

    The second tab in the popup window should say "Custom"

    Deselect "Ear Protection" and then close the popup

    Even after a restart my laptop stops warning me and lets me raise the volume to 100%
