((( keyboard doesn't matter as I wondered if it was a sticking mute key. Tried 5 different keyboards..all brand new)))

I don't care if i'm using alsa or pulsa audio or whatever..I'm comfy with Timeshift backups and restorations and system image backups/clones and restorations using Foxclone ( fist bump of respect to AndyMH for a great job refining this great software)...So I'm open to a pretty decent width of suggestions.
Also== it doesn't matter if i select 2.0 stereo or 2.1 stereo in Sound settings...the problem occurs no matter what at around 20 and 25% volume ..sometimes even 30%
Thanks for your time good peeps.
