Picnok, Try changing the default sound output from speakers to headphones ( settings at end of volume bar).

And don't overlook the hardware controls on the keyboard of most Notebooks/Laptops, they have to be set first.
Since there's no information given about the Acer it's hard to say more.

Just about every Laptop has an Audio Overlay App, like DTS, Nahimic, etc.
Sometimes updates to those may reset them to defaults. They may come through the manufacturers update App or Windows updates.
Have a look thru those App settings and adjust them. Volume levelling/stabilisation/equalisation is generally the only useful function.

Headphones are far better quality. the volume level using mine are around the 12-14% mark.
Laptop speakers in general are pathetic, small in a thin box do not expect much from those.
