Windows 10: System sound Auto-reset

Dear allA week ago, I got my brand new XPS-17, i7 11th gen. top specs, windows pro10 64-bit. of course, despite the hefty premium price, it's far from perfect....One annoying issue is, System sound auto-reset. When i open the "Sound Mixer" dialogue, the System volume gets reset to as high as every other app's volume, which is extremely annoying. I have to go there and set the system volume at 6% every time I restart my laptop.Of course, in the settings i chose not to allow any app/device to have any control over the sound. Yet, i have to deal with this!Any idea of how to fix this Microsofty me

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

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

Sound Quality

One thing that sticks out from looking at your "My Computer" specs. You list "ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)" which suggests you do not have the correct sound hardware driver. Your motherboard has Realtek sound and the first step is to install the Realtek sound drivers. My ASUS also came with Sonic Studio 2 which is a sound enhancement package. Check the ASUS install disc to see if you have something similar.

May not be a speaker problem.
