So i opened the volume mixer and there is device (speakers) and applications (system sounds) and then the player. There is a bar...

I lost this function in the lower taskbar and the volume control blue line indicator on the lower part of my screen. I'm running Windows 7. How can I get it back? Thanks

Okay. I've been searching nearly for 6+ hours right now looking on how to get control panel settings to save. The full story is games that use too much memory will eventually freeze and loop the last sound played which is extremely annoying when my volume is loud enough to hear and it's...

My PC is running Windows 7 64-bit with onboard Realtek HD Audio. I've checked all obvious places, Device Manager, Volume Control, RealTek HD Audio Manager, etc. I've tried a dozen different fixes involving regedit, services.msc and uninstalling drivers, updating drivers, rolling back drivers...

Hi, everytime I load a game I change the volume to say 15%, after I close the game then try it again, the sound jumps back up to 100% volume like windows has not registered the change and chosen to ignore or save my preferences. Programs like steam will continue to use the selected volume but...
