    Audio volume keeps forcing to zero.


    Something keeps forcing the audio volume level to zero on my Dell Inspiron 3185 (Windows 10). Whatever it is, it is also displaying a volume control slider on the upper left corner of my home screen. I can adjust the volume with this slider, but in a second or two it goes back down to zero.

    :)

    Volume goes to zero and mute.

    Hi William,

    If the volume of your computer automatically mutes, it could be that the audio drivers are corrupted or damaged, or that there are software conflicts occurring within the system. As a first troubleshooting step, we suggest that you run the audio troubleshooter
    and lets Windows find and automatically resolve problems with your audio. Here's how to run the audio troubleshooter:

    • Select the Start button, then type troubleshoot, and select
      Troubleshoot from the list of results. From there, select
      Playing Audio
      > Run the troubleshooter.

    If the troubleshooter does not help resolve the problem with your volume settings, we suggest that you check Device Manager and update your sound card drivers. Updating would replace any corrupted or damaged components of the audio driver. Here's how to
    update your audio drivers through Device Manager:

    • Open the Start button, then type device manager, and select
      Device Manager from the search results.
    • Under Sound, video and game controllers, right-click your sound card driver, then select
      Update Driver.
    • Select Search automatically search for updated driver software.
    If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you may look for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions on how to install their driver.

    If the above steps doesn't resolve the problem, feel free to post back to us.

  3. Volume keeps decreasing to zero automatically

    The volume icon is stuck on the top left of the screen, and whenever I increase the volume using the display or keyboard it keeps spiraling down to zero/mute. I have run my anti virus program, malwarebytes, and audio troubleshoot but they all detected nothing.
    I have updated the realteck high definition audio driver, rolled it back, even unistalled it and rebooted my computer, but the problem persists.

    The strangest thing is when I switch my laptop to tablet mode the volume becomes stuck at 100 and increases automatically to 100 whenever I try to decrease it.

    I would appreciate help with this issue.

  4. Audio volume keeps forcing to zero.

    Audio volume cannot be changed while Youtube Video is playing.

    Model: Nokia Lumia 920

    OS version: 8.0.10211.204

    Firmware Revision: 1232.5951.1249.1001

    Hardware Revision: 1.0.0.0

    Radio Software Version: 1.0.202075.3

    Chip SOC Version: 8960





    Bug Reproduction Steps:

    • Use Bing to search any video
    • IE10 goes to the Youtube
    • Play Youtube Video
    • Even the audio volume is up to the max or down to zero, you still can't feel volume changed.
    • If I long press "<-" hardware back button to go to App Switch Screen, and change the volume at App Switch Screen. Thus, the volume of the Youtube Video will be changed.
