I am having trouble with the Volume Control on my Win2k system. I have an ESS sound card and when I look at the device manager, all of the devices are configured properly. The problem is that when I click on the sound icon in the system tray and raise the volume, it turns back down on its own. The volume will not stay at what I set it. I have checked technet and no luck. Has anyone ever seen this??

SYMPTOMS
When you change the volume for an audio CD using the volume control in the CD Player tool that is included with Windows 2000, the volume may not change.

CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you did not choose the preferred mixer device properly in CD Player. The original settings may be blank, causing the volume control to be changing the wrong setting.

RESOLUTION
In the CD Player tool, click Options , click Preferences , click the PlayerOptions tab, click Advanced Audio , and then set the correct audio mixer and volume control

regards,

Leopold
