my computer recently has started to reset the volume to 100% and keep it at that level, it is unable to be reduced to a better level.a week ago, I installed X-Lite 4, on my computer so i was able to start setting up my voip phone.this problem started about 4 days ago and i was able at first been able to get around it by restarting my computer but then some time later time varies, it would just reset volume to full level.with this doing this it has displayed on my screen bottom middle screen, a picture fo a speaker and showing volume bar at full. this is always ontop of all other windows.the only way I have been able to get rid of this is by stopping the service "audiosrv" through task manager.I have since done a scan with spybot, cleaned my computer with c cleaner, ran my virus scanner etc.
I have also changed property changes in audio settings and nothing has made a difference.I have also uninstalled x-lite, done a system restore to about 2 weeks ago, nothing still made any difference. I am running Windows 7 ultimate 32bit, on a pentium dual core at the moment I am thinking that maybe my audiosrv.dll file or something assoicated with it may be currupt or been infected and not being picked up so far.I have to be able to fix this issue with doing a fix. without a reinstall of the OS / software.
I bought a USB A4 Tech HU-200 HeadPhone Its volume is quite high even when the windows volume is at 0, When its at max 100 it works like dedicated speakers Is there any way to reduce the volume beyond the lowest volume of windows 7?
Note: My Headphone does not have any soft of driver or software
I cant get my Windows 7 to start up. I'm not sure if this is my PCs problem or windows. It starts up, gives me the ASUS screen where I can go into setup (though messing around in it hasn't helped yet). otherwise it goes to black screen where I can choose start windows normally or launch troubleshoot. if I pick start normally the windows logo comes up, loads, tursn black, and resets the PC. If I choose troubleshoot, it goes black for several minutes, shows the Windows 7 BG, and just gets stuck there. I'm not sure what to try to get it to boot.
so i have a blue yeti, and i'm an online animator/voice actor. whenever i record audio on my blue yeti (or any other mic) i record about 4-6 inches from the mic, and turn the gain down enough that the audio doesn't peak as i yell or whatever. this is what you're supposed to do if you don't want your audio levels peaking and making your recording sound horrible and corrupted. however, afterwards, it means i have really quite recordings. not a problem right? now that it's recorded right, i can boost the volume of the entire clip afterwards right? wrong. i'm not an audio expert so i must be missing something. but why in gods name would the audio distort and peak after it's recorded successfully? it's all there, it's all clean audio. if i turn the volume on my speakers all the way up it sounds crystal clear! all i want to do is do that inside the computer so that when i upload it to Internet people don't have to turn their speakers so far up. but if i increase the clips volume in the computer, it distorts! it sounds awful! why?! i tried in sony acid and audacity and they both do the same thing! i can take sound effects, and recordings made by other producers and crank them up nice and loud, but mine just fall apart!
I have recently built myself a PC (Windows 7, i5) and it's running fine except for one problem. Every now and again, when I've been away from it, I find that it's reset itself. I don't think it's overheating as the machine has two extra case fans and the temps seem fine.How should I go about starting to investigate this as it has never reset itself while I've been there.
I use the Display Color Calibration program in Windows 7 to get my monitor's gamma down. It was working great until two or three days ago, but it now resets itself on reboot, every reboot. I've had this problem before and it was related to igfxpers.exe, but that is not among my startup items and thus isn't the issue. Oddly, during the Welcome screen, the gamma goes way up, then seems to come back to where it should be, only to get really bright again and stay there. Even stranger, if I run the calibration tool, bring the gamma down and just cancel the process, the gamma comes back down to where it should be.The problem seems to have cropped up after I upgraded to the newest version of Microsoft Security Essentials, but I'm not sure that's the cause of the issue.
I have the clock set to notify me when clock changes, and it always has a note as to when a change is scheduled for savings time, but it never notifies me nor changes the time on it's own. I always have to reset it myself and that is usually after the time confuses me enough for me to check the actual time.
Whatever time I set Windows 7 to (i.e. Eastern Time, Western Time, Coordinated Universal Time, etc.), on restart it sets itself to GMT, while still showing that I've selected the previous time zone I set (i.e. Eastern Time).
I am in the process of completing a new build and when I try to shutdown it just reboots.
- Turned off all "wake" features in the bios
- The only front panel connections I'm using are reset and power on buttons. Neither of which are sticking on
- Motherboard is out of case so there are no dropped screws shorting anything out

I have this issue resolved but I still wonder why it always resets to the wrong way.I always have to click on the set mode to "What you see is what you get".This wan't true until a few months ago.This isn't a big issue now that I know what to do (it drove my crazy for a while) but I'm curious as to whether there is a way to set the default to "What you see is what you get".
Basically, whenever I start the computer up, it gets to the Windows login screen and loads it, at first, in full resolution (2048 x 1152) but immediately changes to 1024x768. Then once logged in I have to go in and change it back to full resolution. The problem started after I disconnected my monitor and connected it to my laptop with a VGA cable. Typically it's connected to this computer via DVI. I was thinking it might be a cable issue- one of the pins got damaged or something but I don't have another DVI cable to test with.
What I've tried: Updating windows Re-installing The ATI driver and all the ATI software with the current version- reinstalled it with a newer version and reinstalled it with an older version. (I'm back to the newest version now) Re-installed the Samsung monitor drivers Ran an AV scan- no issues found.
I dont know whats going on with my PC I think some system files are corrupt but heres my problems:My PC locks up (freezes), reboots sometimes for no reason, flashes a BSOD sometimes, and one time It rebooted gave me error "bootmrg image is corrupt. the system can not start
I used Defogger to get rid of my mount drive, then used DDS to get a log I would get a friend to look at, and then used OTL to scan my computer. I ran the "fix" on OTL and everything went back to normal (IE home page stayed as set, and the dimmer buttons on my laptop started to work). Then came a Windows Update and restart after updating.
I've recently built a new PC, it's my first build and I've managed to solve most problems that have occurred but I'm stuck on this one. It will load games fine if i load them straight from turning on the PC but if i run it for a while then load a game it resets itself, and doesn't leave and mini/memory dumps. The system runs fine normally and even with some old games but if i load a new game such as civilization 5 on steam or try running examples in UDK it resets.

At first i thought it was overheating but I've checked and the CPU and graphics card don't reach anywhere near a hot temperature before it crashes. I've also taken it to a local computer repair shop and the tests they ran all passed (i don't know what the tests they ran are but i'm going to call them tomorrow and find out / tell them it still crashes)
I'm at my wits end now though, After several attempts at installing Win 7 RC (64bit) I realised it wouldn't let me becasue I hadn't added the latest drivers for my motherboard. Now it appears to have installed but whenever windows starts, it reboots at the point where the first 'red dot' appears (the four colours swirl in to make the window).
I ran in safe mode and it appears to reboot whenever it gets as far as 'system32/drivers/disk.sys'
I have installed to three different HDD, both IDE and SATA. All clean before the start. I've used an IDE DVD drive and a USB external, and my BIOS is totally up to date. I've now striped the PC of everything none essential.
The latest drivers for the motherboard are the Vista 64bit variety because there are no windows 7 drivers (that I could see).
P.S. I also obtained a copy of the 90day release version of 64bit Ultimate, which a friend has successfully installed on his Vista laptop. I've tried installing this with all the same configs and same problem every time.
I just received a new keyboard today: Thermaltake Challenger Ultimate. I went from a Logitech G15.
First thing I did was connect the keyboard and install the software that came along on the CD, it probably also installed the correct drivers. First after this did I uninstall the software and drivers from the old Logitech G15. But before that, and now after, the volume buttons on my new keyboard is still not adjusting the volume when I press them.
A speaker-icon like this shows up when I press the volume buttons, so its not that the keys are not working: (ignore the text behind it, its me writing an assignment)
I recently got this problem, that my volume hotkeys stopped working, (Acer Aspire 5560G) AMD High Definition Audio. I also tryed plug in other keyboard that have's volume hotkeys but still doesn't work.
I like to listen to music loudly sometimes. I have both the volume mixer and my application's volume set to maximum levels, but it's not loud enough for my liking. Is there any way to increase the maximum sound volume in Windows 7?
I keep having to go back and adjust color and contrast every time my laptop wakes up from sleep. I keep hearing it's something to do with the drivers, but I tried going to device manager, right clicking on display adapter and seeing if there are updates and it says i have the latest installed.I just got this computer too, so you'd think it'd come with all the new drivers?
at seemingly random intervals, I'll "wake up" my computer only to find its date/time entry is suddenly same date, same time, but YEAR 7011.Not too surprisingly, things don't work right when the computer year is that far off-- which is usually what tips me off that it's happened yet again. AOL may not work, or I may bet alerts that computer protection is "no longer valid" (well gee, 5000 years from now, not surprised). WHAT causes these repeated changes of the computer's year setting?
When I run the Display Color Calibration to alter the gamma cos it is too bright for me, It resets after any reboot or shutdown is there any way to keep the adjusted setting after shutdown/reboot?
I have a couple of programs who's icons I have set to always show, one of them is mailwasher for example. Everything is fine until my wife logs onto her account when I log back onto mine mailwasher becomes hidden again by. So it means I have to unhide it every time she logs on. It's not all icons that do this
I've just recently realized that copying folders to a backup hard drive resets their "created" date. Should my computer ever crash, all my backup files will state to have just been created on that certain date. Me, being the organize-freak I am, have been looking for a solution so my backed up files can have the same time stamps as on my computer right now. I've done a little searching, and have found that people always recommend Robocopy. Problem is, I can't understand a word of the tutorials. How to run Robocopy to carry out what I want? And also just for the heck of it, is Robocopy the only solution? Is there some sort of back up program on Windows 7 that can do that?
I've changed the setting of maximum processor state on battery from 100% to 50% to save battery. But the setting resets to default 100% time to time. I don't know why this is happening.
Once in a while I find that the time zone moves from GMT to Pacific Time.Has anyone any idea what would cause this, new CMOS battery fitted, which ever time zone shows the time is correct for that zone. Checked the BIOS and that also changes.I dual boot two Win 7 installations.
I just installed a new mobo with my windows 7, and the sound mic volume is so low. with everything turned up i need to scream to even kind of hear myself on playback. I read this was an issue with windows 7 so what is the fix? Mobo is ASrock 970 Extreme 3 and Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
I was given a laptop at work. It came with win 7 home. The workplace has access to a win 7 pro dvd for which apparently no key needs to be entered.
1. Can I upgrade using win 7 anytime upgrade using the in 7 pro dvd from work? Or does it require a reinstallation?
2. If it is a reinstall, is there some way use the drivers already on the laptop to make things easier? There is a recovery partition on the laptop ~16GB, there is also a drivers partition.
3. If I can do an upgrade, can I change the language? The current language on the laptop is european; the language on the win 7 pro dvd is english.
a friend supposedly cleaned my computer but in the cleanup removed all my microsoft office program, have none, but included went my volume, i can only hear with earphone which is very annoying.
Is there some shortkey for controlling the volume and the screen brightness (if it's not a laptop and such keys are not available on the keyboard)? Also, what would be the Windows equivalent to 'All Windows', 'Dashboard', 'Application Widows' and 'Show Desktop'? Sometimes I like to put multiple windows of a browser in different spaces so I can better navigate around them; how can you do this on Windows 7?
