XPS 9520 Sound volume too low

Windows 10:

Once windows installed it automatically installs "Realtek® Audio" driver ver. 6.0.9285.1. It does not matter where you move the volume slider it always plays sound at 100% volume and it's very loud. Using Dell Command Update I upgraded audio driver to the latest available version 6.0.9369.1. I am able to choose volume I want, but when I select 100% it play sounds at 50% of volume it was before I updated the driver. And it's really quiet. Uninstalling the latest driver gives 100% of loudness again without any options to choose less volume. Installing back the latest driver gives 50% loudness when slider moved to 100%. If I slide volume to 50% I barely hear sounds.

Windows 11:

With default driver after windows was installed the sound is quiet. After using Dell Command Update I upgraded audio driver to the latest available version 6.0.9369.1 and it becomes a bit louder, but not that as it should be. For example, if you run dell UEFI diagnostics it plays sounds very loud.

I read through https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/coreaudio/audio-tapered-volume-controls so, I believe, there should be an .inf file section which describes min and max voltage or idk.

Who knows how to fix it?
