There's no way for a VM to affect physical hardware except through normal host OS APIs, so this has to be an oddity of your host, for example some strange mixer volume setting. Right click the Volume icon in your host taskbar notification area and select Volume Mixer. Find out which mix component is responsible for the volume you don't like.
