    System Sounds forced at highest %


    Hi! I've been experiencing a problem with System Sounds for a while now, whenever I change it's volume to below the highestMaster volume or mute it when I close Volume Mixer it immediately goes back to the highest %.


    I've tried:
    • Disabling all sound effects and immediate mode
    • Updating Audio I/O Drivers
    • Disabling "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"
    • Toggling "Do nothing" in Communications
    • Disabling and reenabling Realtek High Definition Audio driverunder Sound, video and game controllers


    The only fix that seems to work right now is leaving Volume Mixer open in the background, is there anything I can do to solve this problem?

    :)

    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 System Sounds forced at highest % :p

    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.
