I reinstalled windows the other day (xp) and I have a sound blaster audigy. At first I thought it was just media player causing this, but I have now found out that any video player does this also. If the movie is being played, and I slide the audio bar down (the one in the player) the volume will go down. But if I pause the movie, or even search through the movie, the volume sound, will go back up to 100%, but the slider stays in the same position. If I click the slider, in the position it is currently in, it will go back down. Now this doesn't do this if I use the play control, through the speaker icon on the tray. I have tried reinstalling the sound drivers numerous times, and almost had windows unusable. I had the wonderful blue screen, windows shuts down to prevent damage to your hardware fun. After a few hours of fun with that, I got it back going. So what should I try? Another fresh install? Hopefully I am making sense in this, if not, I shall answer any questions. Thanks.
