OK, some questions, what utility are you using to listen to the audio?
Which OS is involved?
On the source player, are the volume controls at mid-range or full up?
When you change the volume, even if it doesn't change, do the taskbar volume and device properties volume show the same number? They should be in sync with each other but the sound source should not change. Could the sound source be overriding the other controls?
Keyboard volume control keys are active without the Fn key being held?
I'm not sure what Utilities means, but I have tried using Opera, Chrome, Discord, DaVinci Resolve, etc all without success in changing volume.
I'm using:
Edition Windows 11 Home Version 22H2 Installed on 2/25/2023 OS build 22621.1555 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22640.1000.0
At the source, such as YouTube, I'm able to change the volume slider to adjust the volume. However, that's not helpful for if the volume is to quiet, as you can't go above 100% volume.
I don't see any volume sliders in the task bar. When connected to headphones and I hit the touchbar to increase volume, the onscreen volume (as shown) doesn't change. However, I can drag the blue slider thingy to change the volume (but it doesn't actually change the volume, it just changes the number)
I have the XPS 13 with a touchbar, so it doesn't need the fn keys to be held. Also, when I hit the volume buttons without Airpods connected, it changes the numbers and the volume as expected.
I'm not sure what Dell calls it, but for Mac, it's called touchbar. Is taskbar what I'm referring to as the touchbar? I'm referring to the bar on my keyboard with keys such as volume, brightness, escape, etc.

You don't mention your system specs. so I can't check but when you say touchbar, do you mean spacebar or something else?
The taskbar should have a volume icon, unless your system doesn't work that way.
