Yes. All songs play at max volume regardless of where the volume bar is positioned, whether it is the volume bar of the system or the application (MC22/23), regardless of the volume setting like system, internal, application etc.

RoderickGI:
When you play something, check the Audio Path and see if there are any volume adjustments in there.

I have a similar setup to your, using Realtek optical output. I use Internal Volume and so should you, and everyone else. You should uncheck the WDM Driver in MC Features since you don't use it and if it isn't set up right with other players and MC, it could result in a similar problem. Reboot your PC and restart MC after you untick the WDM, just to be sure it is gone. It won't appear under Windows Playback Devices once it is gone.

When testing changes to the Volume setup (selecting System, Internal etc.) you must at least stop playback in MC, and I prefer to restart MC, as it is a significant change.

Try the above and see what happens. Keep checking the Audio Path to see if something unusual is happening in there.

I noticed that WDM is unchecked by default

Well that depends somewhat on previous installations, and some updates seem to have automatically installed it sometimes. Or seem to have. You said "However JR shows up in the volume panel of windows" but I'm not sure exactly what you mean there.

Just check that JRiver doesn't appear in the Windows Playback Devices list, to be sure.

PS: Also, as you have moved between MC22 and MC23, backup the library you are currently using, completely uninstall both MC22 and MC23, then reinstall MC23 and restore the library backup you made. You don't want mixed components from both versions when trying to solve these problems.

Also, set this value to 20. Now.
Make sure you are using Internal Volume.
Turn on Volume Protection.
