In-game audio recorded is next to none.

This has been a problem for 10 months now.
I've reinstalled windows 10 several times since on multiple SSD's.
ALso changed motherboard, cpu, ram, psu and gpu.. So the whole computer.

Edit: Yes, EVERYTHING sound related are at 100%. This here happened over night in November last year.

To my knowledge the way the audio peak indicators work in editing software is just to give you an idea as to how loud the audio is in dB (Decibels) relative to other peaks and to a certain dB level. So based off of that info the audio in the video is just not the loud in the first place, having Dxtory set to record sound at 100% volume just means to record the volume exactly as it is picked up with nothing done to make it quieter.
In Vegas and other editing software you can normalize the audio which will make it louder or quieter as needed, though the audio quality might suffer (haven't tested this since I am not an audiophile nor do I typically need to make audio louder) and white noise that might otherwise be unheard might now be heard (this is something I have noticed) especially in the case of making the audio louder. In Vegas this is done simply by right clicking the audio track selecting properties and placing a check mark in the box to the left of the word normalize. In this case it would make the audio louder since it is below a certain dB level.

So you say that in it is perfectly fine that I have to increase the db by 15 in order to year the voices?
Before this happened, I had to turn down by ~10-15db if I recorded with in-game audio at 100% when there was any kind of action happening. Not it is the other way around.
Also, normalize only increased the audio by 0.4db.

Looks like a normal peak range (no clipping, peaks at around 50%). If everything is at 100% in the settings (Dxtory has a volume setting as well), it's not a Dxtory issue.

What you are looking for is called compression https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range_compression. Or just change the volume afterwards if the range is good already.

Are you in a skype call or other voice over IP application while recording? I think depending on the software windows will detect it as "communications" and lower the sound by 80% unless you change it to do nothing (right click on sound icon > sounds > communications tab > do nothing

I can't really think of anything else that would cause audio levels to be so low if EVERYTHING is set to 100%. We're talking about in game sounds and not microphone levels right? If everything is set to 100% those peaks should be a lot bigger unless it's a super quiet game with nothing happening (sound designers / engineers make sure everything is properly mastered and kept to specific loudness standards for games).
