| I have a HP laptop and am currently running Windows XP Pro with Pack 2. I cant seem to figure out why the slider on the main volume control keeps sliding down. All the other sliders base and the equalizer stay up but the volume doesnt. Any ideas??
Thanks | |

| This may sound way off base, but the HP units come with either FN-F4/F5/F6 sound control, or the really new ones come with touch sensitive slide panels.
Make sure ur not touching any of these when sound is playing.
Also double-check to make sure things like MSN, Yahoo, Skype etc, are not automatically modifying the volume.
Last option is to re-install the drivers for the sound, but download the newest drivers from the HP site, as there might have been a bug in the original shipment. | |

| I have reinstalled all drivers and it didnt fix the problem. The problem is even at start up and all browsers are closed.
If you can think of how to keep that darn slider up let me know. Thanks for the ideas.  | |

| mmm Tough One
Have you tired, safe mode, remove all sound devices, system restart, and let windows re-detect ?
If HP control panel software is installed (Media Controller), try dis-able with msconfig, see if that helps.
I forgot to ask previously, did it ever work ? If it did, maybe try a system restore.
Definately sounds like software issue, but as a stupid idea, key stuck maybe ?
Have a look at :

Never know, maybe HP could actually help LOL |
