Hi there, i have a dual boot mac-windows Razer Blade 2019 Base with ALC256 and i had notice the audio level on mac is way too low compared to windows, on windows volume set a 30 is louder as the max level on mac. i could not find anything about it, any idea?

Thanks in advance!
 
Try an alternative Layout ID and see if that fixes the volume output level.

As you haven't said which ID you are using I have listed all the ID's that work with the ALC256/3246 codec:

Layout 5, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 28, 33, 56, 57, 66, 67, 69, 70, 76, 77, 88, 97, 99

From the AppleALC.kext/Info.plist

Layout ID 23 is the only ID specific to a Razer Blade laptop, but I don't know if that will match with your 'Razer Blade 2019' system.
