Sound levels have gone whisper quiet

For some reason the sound levels on my iMac have become very quiet. Even cranked up all the way I can now barely hear any of the games I play or videos I watch. I have trouble hearing my wife on Skype as well.


At first I thought my headphones might be failing. But the problem persists if I switch to my wireless headphones.


Any suggestions? It's most annoying.

Mac mini, macOS 10.14

Thank you.


However I figured it out. Both headphones have independent volume controls that I somehow turned all the way down.


Sigh. Getting old sucks.
