Hi,
my father asked me to fix his old Compaq Presario 5150 desktop. For some reason in Windows 2000 The volume slider on the master volume goes up to max volume on its own.
I have uninstalled most of the software on the computer, short of completely wiping and re-installing windows, I can’t figure it out. It won’t let me mute it, it won’t let me control it. All the other volume sliders are fine except for the Master volume. I am very frustrated, I would disable the on board sound and install a real sound card if I could figure it out.
I can’t find this problem anywhere else, and Compaq is really no help.
