Title: Windows 2000 Sound Issue
Post by: bkutz on August 26, 2004, 08:57:58 PM
I'm running Windows 2000 Pro,  solid system, no issues other than the following:

After the computer has recovered from SLEEP MODE, the sound blasts me out of the room. I can reset it using the volume control setting in the Tool Bar, but the next time the computer recovers from sleep mode, the sound is returned to maximum volume.  It does not do this upon initial boot, but just when I've activated and recovered from SLEEP MODE.

I'm running a Pentium 4 on a BioStar U8668D Motherboard utilizing the onboard AC '97 sound chip. Nothing peculiar with my setup that I know of. Sound works just fine except for the Sleep Mode issue.  This is incredibly annoying, as everytime the computer recovers from Sleep Mode, I get blasted out of the room. Yes, I know I can turn off the Windows Sound wave, but would like to leave it on if possible.

Anyone have any ideas of what I can do to resolve this very annoying event? I've looked everywhere and can't find any reference to this as it applies to my PC.

Thank you.   ???
