📎 AI Summary:
The original poster experienced a persistent volume slider appearing at startup and resetting the volume to 100%, which was traced back to his old Logitech G15 keyboard sending volume up keypresses. A diagnostic tool was suggested and used to identify the source of the key events, leading to the discovery that the keyboard, due to modifications and driver reinstallation, was causing the issue. Overall, the thread reflects a helpful troubleshooting process culminating in a hardware-related solution.

Hi everyone!

When I start up my pc in the left top corner a volume slider appears and when I change the volume it always goes back to 100%. I also tried changing the volume on several other locations, installed all audio drivers, tried to disconnect hardware that is capable of changing the volume but it keeps happening.

I added a gif of what happends.
An image from 'Volume keeps going to 100%'. A cigarette burns down with a counter showing '100' beside it.


Does anyone know how to fix this? :(
Thanks!

I found the problem.
The source of the event is my old keyboard, a logitech g15.

About 2 years ago it stopped working so I removed the lcd and some other parts to create lights inside my pc and a lcd frontpanel for displaying ingame stats and so on.
Been working great but now it keeps sending volume up. I think because I got this new logitechheadset my pc also reinstalled the drivers for my G15. Result is an annoying volume up spam :p

Thanks allot you really helped me out mate.

Here, run this little application I just made. As long as it has focus it will pick up key presses. If it starts spamming key presses then something is stuck on your keyboard or a program is creating key press events.

Hi mate, thanks for replying. I tested with your tool and this is the result
An image from 'Volume keeps going to 100%'. A volume bar shows full level as repeated 'VolumeUp' key presses are logged in a window.


So I have to look for the source of the keypress event.
Thanks mate, this will help out :)
