Why is this happening? Because when I press a key on the VST I'm using, it produces the natural recorded sound, but the piano roll produces a different sound even if I increase the volume. What should I do?
Re: Vst It doesn't match the sound of the piano roll.
piano roll produces a different sound even if I increase the volume.
Do you mean that when you click on a key in the virtual keyboard, the sound is lower?
That is a feature. The more you click away from the edge, the less velocity the key will deliver.
If i have misunderstood let me know.

I mean, when I open a program in VST that has its own keyboard, the VST keyboard doesn't match the sounds coming from the original keyboard of the program I installed.And the same thing happens on the piano roll, and it's not the volume, the texture really sounds very different.

That sounds like a bug. What version do you have and on what OS.
Also, what VST are you having this issue with?
Could you try my test VST: MDA-Pianohttps://plugins4free.com/plugin/201/

My problem now is that the notes are making a popping or crackling noise deep down, what is that? I already solved that problem, but now there are these horrible background noises. I don't know if it's because my computer is old.

I lowered the release and the noise disappeared, but it also changed the sound of the instrument that I had configured to sound realistic; now it sounds more artificial, like a synthetic keyboard.

I think you can benefit from watching some tutorials on Building instruments, especially how to use EQ's, this one covers that:
I also have more tutorials on instrument building, but youTube wont let me link to the list named Building Instruments, so find it here: https://www.youtube.com/@bearsoundzMusic/playlists
