    Hi! I got this really weird problem. Suddently, without any obvious reason my sound settings are getting crazy...

    For example if I want to listen to a song in my music player, I have to turn up my Wave volume. Then when the song ends and the next starts, the volume jumps to 0 and I have to open the sound settings again to turn up the volume... wtf? I've never been playing with any sound settings and I don't have any fancy audio-equalizing sw on my PC.

    And when I exit my music player, it turns the volume down again and starting a new application turns the volume down again... it's crazy!

    Gosh, it's like the PC's got a grudge on me... frack!

    OK, any suggestions?

    yep i have a suggestion it seems another program is causing the volume to switch back to ITS settings, when you switch music this program (presumabily an audio program) is taking over.

    the problem lies within a third party program regardless to the problem as this is the only viable answer. the way to fix it is to start by trial and error - close EVERY audio program down you have in memory (like task bar, icon bar etc etc) and try again with Media Player.

    If the volume still goes back to zero then you need to disable a few things that start up with windows, go into msconfig and then "Startup" and disable ALL audio related programs. if you choose the right ones then it should stop this audio-zeroing problem. if it still continues then you have failed to disable the program from msconfig, it is essential you find out which program is causing this

    ----------------- alternitafely -----------------------

    open all your audio programs and make sure you set the volume to MIDDLE and close the programs back down.

    Also run AV check to make sure that a virus/trojan is not causing this problem.....

    Found the problem... the players volume was turned down... :doh: so it simply did reset the system volume when starting to play the next song.

    solved.
