    Hijacked Audio


    I have a virus/malware that the scanners can't find. On occasion it will start playing what sounds like someone scanning a radio dial and then VERY LOUD "Mexican" music plays. The max volume sound makes the PC unusable - probably also intended to damage equipment. The mute and volume controls do not decrease the sound. I can disable the internal speakers and reboot but then I don't have sound support. I looked in all the regular places for browser hacks. Multiple virus scanners cannot find a problem.Visual scan of processes, services, etc. don't show anything. I have WebRoot and whatever Win11

    :)

    After reading what you went through I would strongly suggest you read the advice of Monkey57 and try his steps. Normally

    Browser hijackers     don't show this kind of behavior and more could be going on. Normally I don't suggest Resetting your computer but in this case....
