how can I reset the default wave volume level? Any time a wave file opens up the level is set as low as possible. I can manually reset it, but it returns to the low level as soon as a new wave file begins. Does anyone know a registry hack to fix this problem?

It could be an issue with the drivers or the files assocaited with playing sounds. I would first try updating the sound card drivers and then go to add remove programs and on the windows setup tab remove everything associated with sound and then readd it.

I have seen this happen because of an application which was used to open or play a wav file had it's volume set low.
Check all your apps which were used for wav files and you'll find which one had the low volume setting.

Default wave volume can be set as follows:
Control Panel\Sounds and Multimedia\Audio. Click on Volume tab in Midi music playback. From there you increase the midi/wave volume and when you exit it should remain at that setting.
