Windows 10: Sound volume self changes, how to stop.

When I am in a Zoom meeting or on the internet watching a video the sound keeps going up and down whenever I move the arrow. it is random and I have tried troubleshooting it with every available windows 11 tool on my laptop. How to make it stop. It is very frustrating to have the volume go to zero while on a Zoom meeting. I can't figure out how to eliminate this issue. There is a white box in the middle of the lower part of the screen with a speaker icon and a plus and a minus that shows itself every time I move the position arrow. Please help.

Sound muted if changes volume while playing

Hi everyone, I have a rather odd problem.

My sounds seem to works fine, however if I change volume while sound is playing, the sound is muted. It happens every time doing so.

My laptop is running windows 10 and sound is played through computer's internal speakers.

Here are what I tried and found.

1. Use built-in player in windows 10 to play a video, volume is set to 30 at the beginning. Pause the video and change volume to 80, then resume playing. Everything works fine.
   
2. Again, play a video with volume set to 30 at first, this time increase volume while video is still playing, sound is muted as soon as I click the volume bar.
   
3. After step 2, sound is still muted even I decrease volume back to 30.
   
4. Volume bar is always available during the test, and there is no error notification.
   
5. I thought it was a driver issue so I re-installed sound card driver with latest official one.
   

I can’t try a system restore since it is the laptop for work.

 

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
