MacBook Air Suddenly Not As Loud

Hi there!

Starting last night, my MacBook Air does not get as loud as it used to. When playing videos on my laptop, its maximum volume isn't nearly as loud as it used to be. When I connect to my bluetooth speakers, I have the same problem. I don't suspect this is a problem with the speakers but rather the laptop. Its as if the sound settings have been adjusted.

I have went into System Preferences multiple times and under the Sound option, it shows my output volume is at the maximum for both my internal speakers and my bluetooth speakers.

I used to watch videos at partially over half way as loud, and now I have to have my volume at the maximum and can still not hear as well as I wish. I have checked all the sound options, and it doesn't seem to be anything but something internally on the laptop.

Please help! I would rather not pay to take it into the Apple store if it is something I can fix myself. Thanks in advance!!
