hello,
Since a couple of days, the overall volume of my audio has decreased.
However, it doesnt appear to be affecting my audio player (Rhythmbox).
Youtube videos play with very low sound. I am using Gnome and am
setting the volume and amplification to max just to try and hear
something. Please tell me how I can check what is going on. Volume in
Kodi also appears to be lower than usual, and have been using the Kodi
volume controls for amplification as well.
thank you,

I assume you are using PulseAudio and Gnome. On my desktop I've seen 
that sometimes some volumes get set to a low value that Gnome control 
panel can't seem to restore.

Run "pactl list|less" in a terminal while playing a Youtube video or 
Kodi. Then search for "Volume".

Set any volume that's not 100% with "pactl set-sink-volume <id> 100%". 
or "set-sink-input-volume". Replace <id> with the number that appears in 
the list (e.g. for "Sink #0" it would be 0)

Best regards
Tomaž

Thanks Tomaz,
I did get the volume up to its usual level (I believe) by going to alsamixer. I had tried this before but had not manually selected the relevant sound card (device), which apparently is not "default", having done so I was able to raise the volume again. I will check out your commands though to see if I can get an even higher volume.
thanks again,
