I tried couple of things
1.
--- tried browser changes but didnt solve
2. In system sounds - Communications ... I choose 'Do Nothing' . This is one of the solutions online
3. Reinstalled audio drivers and bluetoth drivers

This problem exists on aux and bluetooth.
It seems windows is controlling audio output
 
What initiated it ?
I mean were you doing something specific when it started or did you make any hardware of software changes ?
These things might help me suggest something
 
Eliminate if media key inputs are being pressed somehow.

Run this python program to monitor it.

pip install pynput
Then run below code.

Code: 
from pynput import keyboard

def on_press(key):
    try:
        if key == keyboard.Key.media_volume_up:
            print('Volume Up key pressed')
        elif key == keyboard.Key.media_volume_down:
            print('Volume Down key pressed')
    except AttributeError:
        pass

def on_release(key):
    if key == keyboard.Key.esc:
        return False

# Collect events until released
with keyboard.Listener(
        on_press=on_press,
        on_release=on_release) as listener:
    listener.join()

To best of my knowledge, it just started happening. Maybe windows update or browser update triggered something

sorry I not into programming so have no idea haha
 
Does your keyboard have dial volume control ? its because of that, i use to face the same with my Razer dials. If so, you need to clean the dial once with cleaner sprays!!

This looks like a problem I used to face on my old sidewinder keyboard. System used to register false volume control inputs for some reason. It went away when I changed the keyboard.

Have you tried removing/disconnecting all accessories (incl. speakers) from the PC? Does the problem still persists?
Just want to make sure this is a purely software issue or not.

I am not very sure but this does seem a hardware issue rather than a software one.
 
I disconnected and reconnected everything thinking its hardware issue. It seems to have solved it.
I have a feeling there was some sort of electrical issue causing this but cant pin point to it whether it was the keyboard scroll or aux connector.

Thanks everyone

Good, that's solved. If the keyboard is mechanical, it's a good idea to clean it as dust and debris can accumulate and cause issues with the keys and other components.

It would most likely be the keyboard volume scroll. Aux connector is just an analog audio interface. If it does come back again, you might have to service the volume knob with some compressed air or IPA.
