    Yesterday I clean installed Windows 10 Enterprise 1703. Now I experience very low audio sound. Earlier speaker at level 20 had more than enough sound, now at level 100 I can't hear audio clearly.
    Please help.

    I have similar experience after installing the creator update. In my case, the audio quality became very poor.

    My solution is to reinstall the audio driver. I think you can give it a try.

    As said by @zxcviop reinstalling does solve the low sound problem.

    That's good, I think the update somehow overwrote it with some kind of Windows basic audio driver.

    I had the same experience before when i first installed 1703 version.
    When i updated NVidia GeForce driver , the computer sound volume was very low.
    After that i found that the volume is really higher with the built-in audio driver that came with windows 10 , version 1703 ( I think 10.0.15063.0 audio driver version)
    My recommendation ; dont update the audio driver , just use the built-in driver
    At least it is the solution at my side , maybe useful for you
